createevent access denied

createevent access denied

[Cary Lewis]

I am trying to write to the windows events sub system using createevent,
but I am getting access denied.

Is there a cygwin utility that provides a way to create a windows event?

Cygwin package util-linux contains logger which should create Windows events
with Unix fields.

Unless you have the Cygwin syslog or syslog-ng daemon installed and running as a
service, in which case it will write to /dev/log socket, which will be logged to
/var/log/messages, or whatever file or processing is configured.

Search the mail archive for previous topics including syslog in the subject.

Thanks for the tip - I already had logger installed, but without syslog-ng,
it doesn't seem to create windows events.

I also discovered that I had to run passwd -R in order to get createevent
to work from a cygwin mintty session.
