to use the sysvinit-style startup scripts (like /etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd), you need to install the 'initscripts; pacakage. You may ALSO need to install the sysvinit package, and install the 'init' service it provides by running the init-config script as Adminstrator. These packages are not explicitly listed as requirements and installed automatically, because they really aren't necessary for the Cygwin xinetd. You can install, control, and use xinetd all by itself, without ever using the /etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd script, simply by installing xinetd itself as a standalone service (rather than relying on init to do it for you). Then, you use cygrunsrv -S xinetd to start it, and cygrunsrv -E xinetd to stop it. -- Chuck -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
