Sorry, but I can't reproduce the above with either NT 4.0 SP5 or 2000 SP1. Jason -- Jason Tishler Director, Software Engineering Phone: +1 (732) 264-8770 x235 Dot Hill Systems Corp.

BTW it's a Win2000 central european edition without any service packs (maybe that's the problem) I'll ty to test it on other machines as well, and write the results. Zsolt
I am sure the lack of SP1 and/or hot fixes is the culprit here. I am running ipc-daemon (as a service) on my Win2K Pro (U.S.) SP1 + Hot Fixes box without a single problem. Been up solid for over a week now without reboots etc. Larry -----Original Message----- From: pgsql-cygwin-owner@postgresql.org [mailto:pgsql-cygwin-owner@postgresql.org]On Behalf Of Tulassay Zsolt Sent: Sunday, April 22, 2001 14:11 To: Jason Tishler Cc: pgsql-cygwin@postgresql.org Subject: [CYGWIN] Re: [PORTS] Re: initdb problem On Mon, 16 Apr 2001, Jason Tishler wrote: > > Well, ipc-daemon does not work for me as an NT service.
