That's all well and good -- but ipc-daemon doesn't use cygserver. It has all the necessary hooks for ServiceManager itself.An excerpt from "cygrunsrv --help" below-e, --env <VAR=VALUE> Optional environment strings which are added to the environment when service is started. You can add up to 255 environment strings using the `--env' option. Note: /bin is always added to $PATH to allow all started applications to find at least cygwin1.dll. shows that you shouldn't really need to add c:\cygwin\bin to your system path (if one uses cygrunsrv, that is). If that is not the case, then it's a bug in cygrunsrv (or an error in documentation).
I should probably rip out that stuff eventually, and rely on cygserver. But since ipc-daemon will be replaced by the cygwin-daemon, someday, I really don't want to mess with it if it isn't broken.
As far as the actual difficulties here, I think it's probably an environment issue; ipc-deamon MUST have cygwin1.dll in its user context PATH. See /usr/doc/Cygwin/cygipc/README.
