'cygcheck -srv' is always a help. I'd suggest *attaching* an uncompressed version in any follow-up. How large could it be? Mine's 43K. Also, please note that if any of your mounted drives ('/cygdrive/X') require windows authentication to access, you'll have trouble with that when running as a service (if the service is run as 'SYSTEM' rather than under your Windows login). -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
