Did anyone have success at starting BoxBackup as a service under Windows
(Cygwin)?
I do a:
cygrunsrv -I boxbackup -p /usr/local/bin/bbackup.exe
Then:
cygrunsrv -S boxbackup
I get the error:
cygrunsrv: Error starting a service: StartService: Win32 error 1058:
The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because
it has no enabled devices associated with it.
I noticed that when installing sshd as a service via ssh-host-config,
the script passes -D to sshd, which tells sshd not to fork in the
background. Maybe boxbackup should have a similar option? Although I'm
not sure if that is the problem.
Ideas?
Thanks,
