I've seen this problem come up on various mailing lists and wanted to share my work-around.
Create a script file (name it /usr/bin/postmaster_service) with the following contents: rm /usr/share/postgresql/data/postmaster.pid exec /usr/bin/postmaster -D /usr/share/postgresql/data -i create cygrunsrv to call postmasterservice instead of postmaster. so: cygrunsrv --install postmaster_service --path /usr/bin/postmaster_service --dep ipc-daemon --termsig INT --shutdown voila! that should do it. windows will be smart enough to not let you start service when it's already started. so as long as you dont manually run postmaster and then try to start postmaster_service you should be ok. -Tony __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
