Hi List, I have been using rsyncd (cygwin) as a service under Windows XP successfully for some time. Now I am trying to do the same with Windows 8. The "installation" of the service went fine and the service started, but after some time it crashed and would not restart. At this point I could also not start the rsyncd manually. I found that there was still a .pid and a .lock file in the "run" directory and if I removed both of them the rsyncd-service could be started successfully as well as starting the rsyncd manually.
Any suggestions on a) how to find out why rsyncd dies in the first place b) how to fix this c) if this is "unfixable" how can I make rsyncd restart even if there are a .pid and .lock file around Regards, -- Dan Johansson, <http://www.dmj.nu> *************************************************** This message is printed on 100% recycled electrons! *************************************************** -- 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
