rsync - Feb 2003 - rsync in cygwin as service

Hello!

I want to start  rsync on w2k as service.

If I try to  start rsync from command line it simply do nothig:

$ rsync --daemon

Administrator@dm-w2ks /usr/bin

$ ps
       PID    PPID    PGID     WINPID  TTY  UID    STIME COMMAND
       480       1     480        480  con  500 04:15:03 /usr/bin/bash
      1428     480    1428       1420  con  500 05:26:46 /usr/bin/ps

Administrator@dm-w2ks /usr/bin


So I'm trying to set it as service:

C:\cygwin\bin>cygrunsrv -I "RSYNC" -d "Rsync" -p
/bin/rsync.exe -a
"--daemon --n
o-detach"

C:\cygwin\bin>cygrunsrv -S "RSYNC"
cygrunsrv: Error starting a service: QueryServiceStatus:  Win32 error 1062:
The service has not been started.

And I see in event log:


The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( RSYNC ) 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: RSYNC : Win32 Process Id = 
0x148 : Cygwin Process Id = 0x148 : starting service `RSYNC' failed: 
signal 11 raised.

$ rsync --version
rsync  version 2.5.5  protocol version 26

Any ideas?

Thank you!

Hi!
U can try the following way....

1) Make a directory called RSYNC and copy rsync.exe, supporting dll files
(cryptogrph-0.dll, cygwin1.dll), srvany.exe in this directory
2) now go to dos prompt .. (c:\rsync) and give command "instsrv
"Rsync"
c:\rsync\srvany.exe"
3) this will install the service in win2k...
4) now u need to give all parameters in services in control panel...for running
it
in daemon.

Nits.

You should perhaps also mention that the tools you refer to are part of the
Resource Kit and are not available as such in Windows.

Sorry to you and other people that waits for me to test/debug 
cygwin-specific problems in latest rsync, but my windows machine is 
actually dead (it's the same CyberOne as seen 'long time offline'
from
http://build.samba.org/).
I guess I must change CPU and/or MB so it will take a while.

Sorry.

In Italy we say something that sounds like "it always rains where it's 
already wet" =(

I've found on cygwin that I need to explicitly tell it where the
config file is, both on the command line and with cygrunsrv.  I
haven't investigated; perhaps the platform default is some other
file.

These commands work for me:

    rsync --config=/etc/rsyncd.conf --daemon

and

    cygrunsrv -I "RSYNC" -p /bin/rsync.exe -a
'--config=/etc/rsyncd.conf --daemon --no-detach'
