Another great suggestion from you Brian. I had become so overfocused on running it from the command line until I could get it tested that it slipped my mind that this could just be run as a service. (I didn't get it tested yet -- as I am still putz around trying to learn to use socat to test it, but this should work and I did turn it into a service running on a "different socket" for these tests. As soon as I prove it's working that is the way I will use it.) Thanks again. Can a Cygwin program that is being run as a service be effectively sent a "HUP" to get it to re-read it's configuration? Assumptions: That service accepts HUP and reloads its configuration when run as a daemon. Or must such services be stopped and restarted completely? -- Herb Martin -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
