inetd -- service wont start at boottime on Win XP (add me to the pile)

[Dr. Andrew Mayer]

Subject: inetd -- service wont start at boottime on Win XP (add me to
the pile)

Like many others, I can't seem to get inetd started at boottime as a
service.  Without much effort I can get it to setup as a service set to
'automatic,' but it wont start on its own.  After I boot and login I
have to start it manually.  

System is WinXP with latest Cygwin

I've tried all the ideas I've seen from
	inetutils-1.3.2.README, e.g., 
		--install-as-service
		cygwin1.dll in path
	this mailing list, e.g., 
		Mark Himsley's add a dependency idea
         http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2001-11/msg01905.html
         Shawn Behrens' add a Description idea
         http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2001-11/msg01891.html

	erdelynet.com 


So far, nothing seems to work :(


Here are my associated log entries from the "System" log (the error
messages
about inetd failing to start) and the the 'Application' log, showing me
successfully starting it by hand.

It turns out that I can't get sshd to boot-start either, probably for
the same unknown reasons.  That's also fine as a hand started service
invoked with cygrunsrv.

Ideas anyone?

Thanks,
Andrew

Sounds like there is another dependency that you're not getting 
implicitly on your system.  I have no idea what that dependency might
be though.  Sorry.

This leads me to the assumption that you didn't read
/usr/doc/Cygwin/inetutils-1.3.2.README.

inetd -- service wont start at boottime on Win XP (add me to the pile)

[Andrew DeFaria]

Note that inetd needs to locate cygwin1.dll in order to start. Also note 
that services start even before you login. So how is inetd (usually in 
/usr/sbin) to find cygwin1.dll (usually in /bin)? The answer is that the 
Windows loader will look for dll's first in the directory that the 
program loaded from (/usr/sbin) failing that it will look for it 
following PATH. So is <cygwin install directory>\bin in your PATH? Not 
in your Cygwin PATH but in your Windows PATH. Remember services are 
started even before you login so Cygwin's bin directory (usually 
C:\Cygwin\bin) must be in your Windows System environment variable PATH 
(Windows User environment variables such as PATH are only in affect when 
the user logs in).

Note that since you are changing the Windows System environment you must 
reboot to insure that the change is noticed.

RE: inetd -- service wont start at boottime on Win XP (add me to the pile)

[Habermann, David (DA)]

I, too, could not make this work (in my case to start SSHD as a service),
even after an exhaustive search of this list archive.  What I ended up with
was using the "Scheduled Tasks" control panel to schedule a "cygrunsrv"
task.  This task is scheduled to run "At system startup" and uses the
command

C:\cygwin\bin\cygrunsrv.exe -S sshd

This apparently delays startup sufficiently that all of the necessary
resources are available.  I've heard a rumor (which I've not be able to
substantiate but does fit my experience) that the portion of the OS that
allows services to be started "dependent on Tcpip" has been "underdeveloped"
(see http://www.queso.com/autoFrontier.htm).
