I have been using colinux with srvany as a service from the beginning. 
The -d switch does the trick as it prevents the console from being 
created.

This is how I did it. Srvany just starts a script called start.cmd with
this contents:

c:
cd \colinux
colinux-daemon -d

I use firedaemon for colinux and apache as windows services.  They have 
a lite (ie free) version avalible. http://www.firedaemon.com/

Hi,

I tested colinux running as a service on my Win2K station. As I don't =
have svrany from the reskit, I used cygrunsrv.exe under cygwin. It works =
fine for me. Don't forget the -d parm in the colinux command, otherwise  =
colinux console process starts and you cannot force ending it, even when =
you stop the colinux service.=20

Hope this can help.

I have a question here: what about safely shutting down coLinux?

Running coLinux as a regular process, I do a reboot and wait for it to 
shutdown (running 'shutdown now' switches to maint. mode) I'm using Debian 
distribution from coLinux.

When you run coLinux as a service, I guess you can also do a reboot, but what 
about shutting down your box?

Would you mind kindly documenting exactly how you did this?  I've
attempted the following (and many others) and gotten nowhere:

cygrunsrv.exe --install coLinux --path c:\\coLinux\\colinux-daemon.exe
- --args '-d'

Thanks.

Ahh.  I was missing one piece.  --chdir

I also found out, through using instsrv and srvany (but then removing
them after getting cygrunsrv working), that permissions on
default.colinux.xml were not allowing the local system user to read this
file.  The permissions were apparently OK on the other files, since it
works fine after I allowed Everyone read access to the .xml config file.

It's working great now.

Thanks very much.

It would be nice if this could work somehow using cygrunsrv.exe.  I'm
currently moving my coLinux directory into c:\cygwin\coLinux to see if
the path works properly after that, since I'm currently getting System
Log events that state that "The system cannot find the file specified".
