Re: service interact with desktop broken between: 1.5.5 & 1.5.19


No one got any ideas why this has been broken?

----- Original Message ----- From: "Steven Hartland" <killing@multiplay.co.uk>


We've been using 1.5.5 for a good long while now and
have had cause to upgrade. Everything apart from service
interact with desktop is working. I've dug as much as I
can but found nothing. The pervious working version was
1.5.5 and the new version 1.5.19. I've attached cygcheck
for both.

Originally I thought it must be something related to
cygrunsvr but even replacing that with the version from
1.5.5 makes no difference so it must be something more
core that I'm missing.

I think I had a similar problem before with 1.5.5 which
got round by using a services which started cmd first see
example below.

The overall objective is to run a perl script on the desktop
that doesn't log to file just displays its output in a normal
console.

I've tried the following combinations:

cygrunsrv -I test \
  -j -i -d "CYGWIN test" \
  -p /tmp/test.pl \
  -e "CYGWIN=ntsec" \
  -e "BASH_ENV=~/.bashrc"

**used to work in 1.5.5**
cygrunsrv -I test \
  -j -i -d "CYGWIN test" \
  -p `cygpath $COMSPEC` \
  -a "/c bash -c /tmp/test.pl" \
  -e "CYGWIN=ntsec" \
  -e "BASH_ENV=~/.bashrc"

N.B. -j doesn't seem to have any affect and wasn't used in 1.5.5

Any ideas what might be causing this or how to fix it?
