Nope it's definitely failing. I've used both the cygwin ps and the 
Windows task manager. bbackupd is not running.

Also running "cygrunsrv" bombs with: 

"cygrunsrv: Error starting a service: QueryServiceStatus: Win32 error 
1053: The server did not respond to a start or control request in a 
timely fashion."

Using the administrative tools/services in the control panel also 
freezes when I attempt to start the service from there.

Hmmm. There is a file there which contains the message re: random seed 
and the copyright notice but nothing else.

Yes. I found them. The install-cygwin-service.pl script also reports an 
error with "Win32 error 1053" as above after doing "cygrunsrv.exe -S 
boxbackup"

I suspect there must be something wrong with my cygwin installation and 
something went wrong during compilation. I've done a couple of fresh 
installs of Cygwin from the net to try to eliminate that as an issue 
but maybe I'm missing a needed package.

I've copied my cygwin binaries over to a Win98 machine and that displays 
exactly the same behaviour (ie. exiting immediately. Obviously I can't 
run that as a service under 98)

Would someone please be so kind as to mail me a copy of a cygwin 
bbackupd.exe binary that they have working. Thanks
