Re: install ipc-daemon and postmaster as Windows service

Hi,

My cygrunsrv is in path/bin.

Postmaster I believe has moved as well. On mine it is now under
/usr/local/pgsql/data

Subject: [CYGWIN] install ipc-daemon and postmaster as Windows services

I installed postgreSQL7.4 on Windows XP. I rebooted the machine, and could
not log into psql any more. I have to go through ./configure, make, make
install .... all over again. I guess that I need to install ipc-daemon and
postmaster as Windows services. I find some instruction from internet as
follows:

$ ipc-daemon --install-as-service
$ cygrunsrv --install postmaster --path /usr/bin/postmaster --args "-D
/usr/share/postgresql/data -i" --dep c-daemon -- msig --user postgres
--shutdown
$ cygrunsrv -S ipc-daemon # actually this step is optional
$ cygrunsrv -S postmaster

I notice that ipc-daemon should be ipc-daemon2 in vs. 7.4. But I cannot find
cygrunsrv in path/usr/bin/ directory. Can you tell me whether above scripts
are still valid for installing postgreSQL7.4? If they are, what is the
equivalent for cygrunsrv? If they are not, what are the scripts for
installing ipc-daemon and postmaster as Windows services?

Thanks

Mimi
