- Subject: cyrunsrv and rsync
I am trying to start rsync as a service.
I downloaded the latest cygwin package yesterday with the whole kit.
I also downloaded rsync-2.5.6.
I can run rsync as a daemon from the bash shell and it works exactly as
expected.
However, when i use cygrunsrv to install the service it will start and then
shutdown after a few seconds. I have tried various combinations of
switches and parameters, the following is the one I believe should have
worked and was also tried.
$ cygrunsrv -I rsyncd -d "RSYNC Daemon" -f "rsync file transfer service" \
-p /usr/bin/rsync -a '--config=/etc/rsyncd.conf --daemon --no-detach'
I have also tried this variation:
$ cygrunsrv -I rsyncd -d "RSYNC Daemon" -f "rsync file transfer service" \
-p /usr/bin/rsync -a '--config=/etc/rsyncd.conf --server --no-detach' \
-e CYGWIN='bin mode tty ntsec'
Many conbinations will fail to install or start at all. The above two will
install the service and start it followed by a stop of the service. I have
searched the mailing list and not seen this problem.
The event viewer says:
The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( rsyncd ) cannot be found.
The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or
message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. The following
information is part of the event: rsyncd : PID 1488 : `rsyncd' service started.
Followed by (1 to 2 seconds later):
The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( rsyncd ) cannot be found.
The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or
message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. The following
information is part of the event: rsyncd : PID 1488 : `rsyncd' service stopped.
Any helps, hints, etc. will be appreciated.
