Hello, I'm trying to start the cygwin syslog daemon. I set it up using syslogd-config, then try and start it with either "net start" or "cygrunsrv -S". The service never fully starts. The return of both commands states that the service could not be started. It does however hang in start up mode. When I reboot it takes nearly a minute to bring up my desktop after I login. The only way I can remove the service is to manually edit the registry (cygrunsrv -R syslogd doesn't work). I tried changing the service to run under my domain account instead of the SYSTEM account without any change. Below is the output I get when trying to start the service. Thanks for any suggestions. Lloyd $ syslogd-config Overwrite existing /etc/syslog.conf file? (yes/no) yes Creating default /etc/syslog.conf file Warning: The following function requires administrator privileges! Do you want to install syslogd as service? (Say "no" if it's already installed as service) (yes/no) yes The service has been installed under LocalSystem account. To start the service, call `net start syslogd' or `cygrunsrv -S syslogd'. Check /etc/syslog.conf first, if it suits your needs. Keep in mind that any file mentioned in /etc/syslog.conf must exist and be readable and writable for the SYSTEM account. Oh and, use tabs, not spaces in /etc/syslog.conf... Configuration finished. Have fun! $ cygrunsrv -Q syslogd Service syslogd exists Type : Own Process Current State : Stopped Controls Accepted : $ net start syslogd The CYGWIN syslogd service is starting........ The CYGWIN syslogd service could not be started. More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 3523. The service is now hung in startup. I can't stop it or remove it. $ net stop syslogd The service could not be controlled in its present state. More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 2189. $ net helpmsg 2189 The service could not be controlled in its present state. EXPLANATION The service is not currently accepting requests. If the service is starting, it cannot process requests until it is fully started. ACTION Try the operation again in a minute or two. If this problem persists, the service may be stuck in a partially running state. Contact technical support. Be prepared to give the name of the service and othe r information about the system, such as the services and applications that were running, and the type and amount of network activity on the computer at the <<cygcheck.out>> time of the problem.
