The latest CVS version of cygrunsrv now has a '--shutdown' option, enabling a feature where cygrunsrv notices the start of system shutdown and sends the termination signal to the managed application process at that time, giving the application a chance to shutdown itself cleanly. This feature is useful with applications such as the PostgreSQL postmaster, which won't start up correctly if it was previously terminated without a chance to clean up some files (postmaster.pid, in particular). See the end of <http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2001-05/msg00075.html> for instructions on getting cygrunsrv from CVS. Note that PostgreSQL also needs a patch to ignore SIGHUP for shutdown on Cygwin to work properly. -- Fred Yankowski [EMAIL PROTECTED] tel: +1.630.879.1312 Principal Consultant www.OntoSys.com fax: +1.630.879.1370 OntoSys, Inc 38W242 Deerpath Rd, Batavia, IL 60510, USA
