I made another attempt to get postgres running as a service owned by myself, rather than a separate user "postgres". Alas, I couldn't get it, and will probably give up for now and get done what I need to get done by running w/o a service (net start postmaster), just as: postmaster -D /usr/share/postgresql/data &
P.S. These are the errors that prevented me from running it as a service (on XP Pro): 1. postmaster service owned by separate user postgres (attempted net start postmaster after switching to user postgres instead su): semget ... Function not implemented [Although I never got that error running as myself. The error message is not verbatim.] 2. postmaster service owned by me: $ cygrunsrv --start postmaster cygrunsrv: Error starting a service: StartService: Win32 error 1069: The service did not start due to a logon failure. 3. postmaster service owned by Local System: $ cygrunsrv --start postmaster cygrunsrv: Error starting a service: QueryServiceStatus: Win32 error 1062: The service has not been started. P.S. I also tried runas on several occasions w/o success.
