Interesting guess, but I did not manage to run xinetd as a service. Is there a way to run xinetd with "desktop interaction", but not as a service? As I started xinetd manually I thought that interaction with the desktop would be allowed and possible. Thanks for any hint! Cheers, WB P.S. My attempt to run xinetd as a service: $ cygrunsrv -I xinetd -i -p /usr/sbin/xinetd.exe $ cygrunsrv -S xinetd $ cygrunsrv -Q xinetd Service xinetd exists Type : Undefined type Current State : Stopped Controls Accepted : $ If I start the service from the GUI it looks like it is started, but some seconds later it is stopped again. I would prefer to run xinetd "manually" for now anyway. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
