I just read /usr/share/doc/cygwin-doc-1.4/html/cygwin-ug-net/using-cygserver.html for the first time. We mainly run fairly straight forward bash and perl scripts under cygwin, both at the commandline and through cron; some scripts use make, some use background processes and "wait". At what point does it make sense to start using the cygserver service? Some guidelines for nondeveloper types in this topic would be appreciated- I did check the FAQ. -- I see the fork errors once every couple of weeks or so. As Igor suggested, once the problem is there, it often persists, until you kill (or exit) all cygwin processes. So far I don't recall a case where killing all cygwin processes did not fix the problem. I've tried adjusting the 48MB windows SharedSection heap settings, and I still get the fork errors. -- thanks much, Tom -- 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/
