Yes, bad form to reply to myself, but I did a little more testing and I've discovered if I change the '-p' arguement to start with anything other than c:/rsyncd, the service will not start. I tried the following commands, all of which failed to start: cygrunsrv.exe -I rsyncd -d 'IronSafe' -f 'Automated remote backup service' -e CYGWIN=nontsec -p 'c:/progra~1/ironsafe/rsyncd/rsync.exe' -a '--config=c:/progra~1/ironsafe/rsyncd/rsyncd.conf --daemon --no-detach' cygrunsrv.exe -I rsyncd -d 'IronSafe' -f 'Automated remote backup service' -e CYGWIN=nontsec -p 'c:/ironsafe/rsyncd/rsync.exe' -a '-- config=c:/ironsafe/rsyncd/rsyncd.conf --daemon --no-detach' cygrunsrv.exe -I rsyncd -d 'IronSafe' -f 'Automated remote backup service' -e CYGWIN=nontsec -p 'c:/ironsafe/rsync.exe' -a '-- config=c:/ironsafe/rsyncd.conf --daemon --no-detach' However, as soon as I use the default location, the rsyncd service starts without any problem: cygrunsrv.exe -I rsyncd -d 'IronSafe' -f 'Automated remote backup service' -e CYGWIN=nontsec -p 'c:/rsyncd/rsync.exe' -a '-- config=c:/rsyncd/rsyncd.conf --daemon --no-detach' So, what is going on? Why am I not able to specify a different path for the rsync executable? I suppose at this point this thread doesn't really belong here, but since it has to do with the cygwin+rsync package available from the BackupPC project page, I thought it would still be relevant.
