I finally found the problem with not being able to start my service (kept getting: cygrunsrv: Error starting a service: QueryServiceStatus: Win32 error 1062: The service has not been started.).
WRONG: cygrunsrv --install rsync_daemon --user 'mynetwork\theusername' --path /usr/bin/rsync -a "--daemon --no-detach" RIGHT: cygrunsrv --install "rsync daemon" --user 'mynetwork\theusername' --path /usr/bin/rsync -a "--daemon --no-detach" Note the quoting around the service description - it apparently requires them. Thing to note: if done correctly, it'll accept ANY password, then give you a logon failure message when you try to start it with: cygrunsrv --start "rsync daemon" One more way to see if you're doing it right. Anyhow, hope this helps someone else along the way - I hate to think I wasted this many hours of my life for nothing. But I now have a running service, and life is good. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.
