installing rsyncd

installing rsyncd

[carolus]

The Cygwin README for rsync says:

2) to install service: ("cygrunsrv --help" for help)
    cygrunsrv -I "rsyncd" -p /usr/bin/rsync -a '--daemon --no-detach'

This command seems to run OK with no messages, but then ps does not show 
rsyncd or rsync.

This is because the above command only installs the service. You
should be able to query its state using:

cygrunsrv -Q rsyncd

And start it with:

cygrunsrv -S rsyncd

Also, it should be there if you check in mmc -> services though the
Windows native facilities.
