Re: How to run Cygwin as the root user ?
Thank you Larry for this, Note: I was unsure on how to reply to this so that the thread would be followed.

Cygwin runs as whatever user you start it as. Log in and run it. If you need to switch users, you should install the 'openssh' package, read the readme and configure it, and use 'ssh'. There is no 'root' user in Windows and therefore Cygwin. Something close (but certainly not at all the same) is Administrator. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.

Cannot run psql under Cygwin
When I try to run psql (eg. psql -U myusername -d mydb) from Cygwin, it freezes. When I run it from the DOS console, it works fine. Here are the versions on my system: Windows XP Pro 2002, Service Pack 3 Cygwin: CYGWIN_NT-5.1 W-QUE-A103212 1.7.5(0.225/5/3) 2010-04-12 19:07 i686 Cygwin PostgreSQL: 8.4.4 No version of PostgreSQL was installed under Cygwin.

Re: Cannot run psql under Cygwin
Okay, many thanks Larry. I forgot to mention I was using the MinTTY console. It works when I use the regular Cygwin console.

When I run it from the DOS console, it works fine. In that case, you need to run Cygwin's bash from a console (i.e. use 'cygwin.bat' as provided by 'setup.exe') and run 'psql' from there. See the 'tty' option for the CYGWIN environment variable in the Users Guide for more details: http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-cygwinenv.html -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
