Cygwin handles setuid differently. See http://www.cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html#ntsec-setuid
The easiest way for you to run mysql as a lower-privileged user could be to run the runas command. For example
runas /user:mysql c:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe Then from the newly spawned shell, try running the mysql command start-stop-daemon --start -c mysql -q -x /usr/bin/yes Best Regards, Carlo -- Carlo Florendo Softare Engineer/Network Co-Administrator Astra Philippines Inc.
