Hi all, Beginning a new thread seems more adapted regarding $subject but that's mentioned here as well: http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/CAB7nPqQXghm_SdB5iniupz1atzMxk=95gv9a8ocdo83sxcn...@mail.gmail.com
It happens based on some investigation from Andrew that cygwin does not need to use the service-related code, aka register/unregister options or similar that are proper to WIN32 and rely instead on cygrunsrv with a SYSV-like init file to manage the service. Based on my tests with cygwin, I am able to see as well that a server started within a cygwin session is able to persist even after it is closed, which is kind of nice and I think that it is a additional reason to not use the service-related code paths. Hence what about the following patch, that makes cygwin behave like any *nix OS when using pg_ctl? This simplifies a bit the code. Marco, as I think you do some packaging for Postgres in Cygwin, and others, does that sound acceptable? Regards, -- Michael
