Re: The Cygwin Server Daemon



Hi All,

I've finally had a chance to play some. So, there's nothing like trying
something! In answer to some of my own questions:

> + Why doesn't the cygserver run, itself, as a server under NT much as sshd 
> does?

You can do that. 

> + Regarding starting the server with cygrunsrv:

Yes, exactly.

No, they're not the objects referred to. Rather, cygrunsrv lets you define
your own NT(+) services. That you might setup cygserver to run as a 
service is a separate question.


...OK... So this gets me further along. I guess I was confused by 
cygrunsrv being involved with cygserver. -shrug-
