init.d

[Igor Pechtchanski]

Oh, good, so I guessed correctly -- you *are* using Win2k.  It's usually a
good idea to include this information (as well as the output of "cygcheck
-svr" as an attachment) in your original query (as per
<http://cygwin.com/bugs.html>).

You have tried "cygrunsrv -S webmin", right?  What is the *exact* error
you get from that (if any)?

If (and *only* if) the above didn't work, I have a *guess* as to what
could be wrong.  IIRC, cygrunsrv expects the program it's starting to fork
itself and exit with an appropriate return code within a certain time
window.  Otherwise it times out and says "the service could not be started
proprely".  sshd and httpd (and some others as well) have an option to
fork and exit -- see if webmin has one as well.
