Re: -silent-dup-error command line parameter not working?
Running it as a service basically does not require starting, or attempting to start, an Xserver each time you open a window. The service runs continually in the background and listens for connections. The procedure is relatively simple: Create an environment variable: CYGWIN = server From a cygwin terminal window run: /usr/bin/cygserver-config (Answer yes to the prompt and reboot) Then you can add Startxwin.bat, for example, to your startup folder so The Xserver starts at boot.

Requesting Help Troubleshooting App That Won't Start
Hello mailing list. I'm new to Cygwin/X, and I'm trying to use it to run Micros 8700 apps (on a SCO OpenServer 5 machine) from my Win2K PC. I'm running an out-of-the box default install of Cygwin/X, except for adding the -ac switch to the startxdmcp.bat file (thanks to Matt Flemming's web site). I can successfully run startxdmcp.bat and log in to the OpenServer desktop. All the built-in OpenServer apps seem to work, and all the Micros 8700 apps work except one (Configurator), which of course is the one I need. When I attempt to start the app, the outline of the window begins to display, but before the contents become visible it immediately closes. The XWin.log file looks exactly the same whether I run a working app or the nonworking one, so that doesn't seem to give me any clues. I don't know where to go from here to troubleshoot - any suggestions would be appreciated.

For anyone out there that might be unsure, the procedure described above does *not* start Cygwin's X-server as a service. It starts Cygwin's 'cygserver' http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-cygserver.html as a service. This service is not required to run the X-server. The Cygwin X-server is started just as one would manually but automates it by putting it in the startup folder. Things started from this folder are not services, though it is a perfectly good way to start the X-server automatically. For those that don't care about the distinction or the details, please forget what I just said. ;-) -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc. (508) 893-9779 - RFK Office 216 Dalton Rd.
