In the course of just kind of following my nose during cygwin install I managed to get sshd setup to start restart etc at
/etc/rc.d/init.d cmd I like that setup but it seems not to be conducive to working with cygrunsrv or windows native `net start cmd' both of those approaches fail. C:\>net start sshd The CYGWIN sshd service is starting. The CYGWIN sshd service could not be started. The service did not report an error. More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 3534 cygrunsrv -S sshd cygrunsrv: Error starting a service: QueryServiceStatus: Win32 error 1062: The service has not been started. But it starts just fine this way: /etc/rc.d/init.d/sshd start Starting sshd: [ OK ] That is all fine with me except that I want sshd started on bootup So that I can connect via ssh without having to go to the machine to start sshd. So what kind of mechanism is available to do this? A batch file maybe? If so I may need a little coaching with that too. I think I could probably get close but I don't really know what commands might be requred to get to `/etc/rc.d/init.d/sshd start' starting from a windows dos prompt or at least initially from outside bash. -- 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/
