I also use exim and it is started via a service that I added via something close to: $ cygrunsrv -I -p /usr/local/bin/exim -a "-bd -q15m" \ > -e CYGWIN=ntsec -d "CYGWIN exim" You can then start the service via the Services applet in Control Panel or do a cygrunsrv -S exim. Windows complains because exim doesn't go into "Daemon mode" they way Windows services likes - it complains that "the service started then stopped but some services are like that" or some such error message, however exim runs and works OK. exim then listens on the SMTP port for requests. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 18+ messages in thread

Well, I'm currently trying to learn the details of setup.exe's package handling code, to squish the bug I've mentioned here (packages show up even if not cached, present since 2.248). But, once I've done that, I'd quite like a reason to learn more about cygwin internals - although I'm not sure how much I will be able to understand well enough to change. So, if time rather than complexity has been the problem, I might be able to help. Is your work-in-progress anywhere downloadable?

The implementation needs 1) updating to HEAD. 2) fork handlers reimplemented (currently broken). and that should be it. http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2001-09/msg01780.html :} Rob -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 18+ messages in thread

Max, you might want to correspond with Conrad Scott, who has been spearheading the Cygserver project lately. He is very will versed in interprocess communications and could probably refer you to some excellent material to get you up to speed.

The cygserver could be (and should in the long run) be used to provide persistence for the fifo when all involved processes have exited. But that's all that's needed. It *could* be used for all fifo activity, but frankly, I don't see much need for the overhead.
