Fwd: reboot command behaves different on Linux

Rsync errors

Hi, A while ago we upgraded our Ubuntu server to 12.04LTS and it now runs rsync 3.0.9. We use rsnapshot (and thus rsync) to backup a part of our Windows server. There is a default cygwin rsyncd running on that Windows server (not cwRsync). After this upgrade we always get a lot of these errors in

cygrunsrv doesn't stop service during reboot

Hi, I have a annoying problem with rsyncd running as a service using cygsunsrv. When I reboot the server running Win2008R2 the service is not properly stopped. Therefore the .pid file stays in /var/run and when the server starts again, the rsync daemon not started because it finds a .pid file. Wh
