The cygserver-config script does not add this description.  So it's from
an old service entry.

That's what I suspected, but I wonder where the string was pulled from? Like I said, I cleared the Cygnus Solutions keys from LOCAL_MACHINE and CURRENT_USER areas in the registry and deleted the temp folders created by the previous Setup.exe. Could it be the Service Control Manager itself?




The Windows Event Viewer console Application Log reports that cygserver starts and is awaiting requests, but a split second later the Service Control Manager reports in the System Log that cygserver terminates unexpectedly. The /var/log/cygserver.log file is empty, so I'm clueless as to what might have caused this problem. I can only guess that file permissions are not what they should be.


What does `ls -l /usr/sbin/cygserver.exe' look like?

$ ls -l /usr/sbin/cygserver.exe
-rwxrwxrwx 1 Manager Users 103424 Sep 4 20:18 /usr/sbin/cygserver.exe*


..or..

Manager@kiraly ~
$ ls -ln /usr/sbin/cygserver.exe
-rwxrwxrwx 1 500 545 103424 Sep 4 20:18 /usr/sbin/cygserver.exe*





Did you try to run cygserver from the command line?



I tried just now and it seems to run fine:


$ /usr/sbin/cygserver &
[2] 688
[1]   Done                    /usr/sbin/cygserver

Manager@kiraly ~
$ cygserver: Initialization complete.  Waiting for requests.
