Another great suggestion from you Brian. I had
become so overfocused on running it from the command
line until I could get it tested that it slipped my
mind that this could just be run as a service.
(I didn't get it tested yet -- as I am still putz
around trying to learn to use socat to test it, but
this should work and I did turn it into a service
running on a "different socket" for these tests. As
soon as I prove it's working that is the way I will
use it.)
Thanks again.
Can a Cygwin program that is being run as a service
be effectively sent a "HUP" to get it to re-read it's
configuration?
Assumptions: That service accepts HUP and reloads its
configuration when run as a daemon.
Or must such services be stopped and restarted completely?
