Thanks Vince,

I was trying to do this, however, I can't find the documentation on how to add
the sysV init scripts as a service. I think you just add /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit as
a service using:

# cygrunsrv --install rc.sysinit --path /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit --disp "CYGWIN 
sysinit"

Is this correct?

Not quite. First make sure you have the sysVinit package installed, and 
you will also want the initscripts  package, (both in ths system category) 
and read /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/sysvinit.README

Quoting Vince <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:


However, when I start the service from either the services
console or with:

# cygrunsrv --start slapd

It will start and then stop after about 5 seconds. When
checking the
Application event log, I found this:

"The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( slapd ) cannot be
found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry
information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote
computer. You may be able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to
retrieve this description; see Help and Support for details.
The following information is part of the event: slapd : PID
2888 : slapd stopped.."

However, if I manually start it by using the following:

# /usr/sbin/slpad -h ldaps:///

It works fine. Anyone know the reson why it fails? Is there anyway
that it can be run from the init scripts?


Install the sysV init package and install that to run as a service. That
way you can run all your cygwin daemons as you would under *nix, using
init scripts.
(You may have to write an init script of course as a lot of cygwin server
programs expect to be run via cygrunserv not under init.)
For slapd try this as /etc/rc.d/init.d/slapd
