Hi,
I was wondering if anyone has experience with the Cygwin FOSS,
obviously on the evil os (tm).
I'm experiencing some behavior which I deem strange...
So, first point: is there any way to get some logging in there?
I didn't see syslog or such in the available software.
2. When I start inetd with -d flag (debug), the current console
disappears, but stays running somewhere. How do I get it back?
It's not in the alt-tab list, but after opening a second console
and issuing a "ps -aef" I do see 2 bash processes running, I also
see those two in the taskmanager. The 1st console stays gone
even after inetd is terminated (kill).
3. I have installed amanda backup under cygwin (as documented
on the amanda website). When I start inetd, indeed I get the
port opened (udp 10080), but it looks like that takes amanda
down, i.e. the port is thereafter closed. I'd have thought
that inetd would restart it then, but it doesn't happen...
no idea anyway why it would crash (had it running on a first
try but had issues with authentication, thus I reinstalled).
All this trouble because we need to get that amanda backup
running on a housed server... and the old amanda-win32 stopped
working there for no good reason at all. argl.
Btw, in case someone wants to experiment with the stuff: if
you want to uninstall Cygwin, don't forget to manually delete
the corresponding services (say, sshd) via regedit. After a
reinstall, things won't work otherwise.
Greets & TIA, Eric
