It is not necessary to set the CYGWIN environment - variable prior to starting the Cygserver process itself, but it won't - hurt to do so. - - The easiest way is to set the environment variable CYGWIN to the values - you want in the Windows system environment and to reboot the machine. - This is advisable, since it allows you to set the variable once and - then forget about it. It also ensures that services as well as desktop - applications have the same setting. - - If you don't want that for whatever reason, you can set the - variable in the /cygwin.bat file which is used in the net distribution, - to start a Cygwin bash from the desktop. In that file, you can set - the CYGWIN variable using Windows command line interpreter syntax, e. g.: - - set CYGWIN=server - - If you don't set CYGWIN in the system environment, but you're running - other Cygwin services, these services need to get that CYGWIN value by - setting the environment using the appropriate cygrunsrv option '-e' when - installing the service. Example installing a service 'foo': - - cygrunsrv -I foo -p /usr/sbin/foo -e "CYGWIN=server" - - The Cygserver configuration file: Cygserver has many options, which allow to customize the server
