cygrunsrv do not automatic start service

cygrunsrv do not automatic start service

[Matthias Meyer]

Hello,

I've installed (cygrunsrv -I) a ssh tunnel with:
/usr/bin/autossh -M 0 -o ServerAliveInterval=20 -o 
ServerAliveCountMax=3 -N -C -i /etc/.ssh/id_rsa -L 389:localhost:389 
user@server.at

Unfortunatly this tunnel will not startet at boot time.
If I start the service with cygrunsrv -S it will run.

Any hint?

Thanks
Matthias

You should get this by default.  Check your service under
"Administrative Tools" then "Services" to see if it is set to
"Auto".  If not, you can try to force it with "--type auto".

Several:

- Did you add the environment string required (AUTOSSH_NTSERVICE)?
- Did you add a dependency to the network? (not required but it makes 
sense);
- Did you install the service to run as your account? (OpenSSH refuses 
to run if the access to the keys is too lax, or if it has no access as 
in other users don't have access to your keys).

The command line I used for installation is (with obfuscated password of 
course):

$ cygrunsrv --install autossh --path /usr/bin/autossh --env 
"AUTOSSH_NTSERVICE=yes" --args "-M 0 -F /etc/autossh/ssh_config.remote 
rberber@example.com" --user rberber --passwd SECRET -y tcpip

The configuration file, ssh_config.remote has all the options for ssh:

$ cat /etc/autossh/ssh_config.legosoft 
         Host example.com 
              AddressFamily inet
BatchMode yes
#BindAddress 127.0.0.1
CheckHostIP no
Compression yes
LocalForward localhost:3333 sunfire:3333
Protocol 2
TCPKeepAlive yes

I found that using other options, like User, IdentityFile, 
UserKnownHostsFile, and HostName made the whole tunnel fail, I really 
don't know why, I didn't experiment further.

If I start the service with cygrunsrv -S or from Windows-GUI 
("Administrative Tools", "Services") it will run. Therefore I dont believe 
that the parameters or configuration are not ok.

It is set as --type auto.
I found in the logfile of the service (/var/log/forward389.log) a message 
that the hostname (server.at) can not be resolved.
Maybee the network connection has not be finished at the time my service 
will be startet.
It seems that windows do not restart the service after this failure.
Is it possible to start my service after network connection is 'up and 
running' or to restart my service after a failure.

Thanks
Matthias

Please read the replies that you have already received, specifically the
one where René suggested that you configure the service with a
dependency on the network (-y tcpip).

I don't recognize the option -y tcpip.
Now I try it but it do not work for me.
In Windows ("Administrative Tools" then "Services") I found the dependencie 
to Service "TCP/IP Protokolltreiber" but no running service with that name.
I will try with other services (DHCP-CLient and/or DNS-Client) and tell you 
about (un)success.

Thanks so far
Matthias
