Hi,
I want to run some common daemons within cygwin rather than using windows services to control them, like proftpd, cron, ssh.
I have noticed that when I simply launch them from my cygwin shell window, like:
/usr/sbin/sshd /usr/sbin/proftpd /usr/sbin/cron
The applications work fine. However, if I connect via SSH or FTP, then disconnect, it leaves the child process that handled my connection running. In other words, children processes never die!
What I would like to know is how to run those daemons entirely within the cygwin shell and not as a separate windows service, like this:
Start cygwin bash shell --> Have Cygwin (via init) startup the various daemons.
Thanks!
Dan
