	Well....rt now, not sure...hmmm
I should have had it running, as it's part of my startXwin.sh
script which I run manually at start of every session, but
did an update and had to kill off most or all of the cygstuff.

	But restarted 'X', which used to -- should have restarted
it but, looking didn't see it in process list and trying the
same command manually gave an error:


> cygrunsrv -n -O -S -d messagebus cygserver
cygrunsrv: --neverexits is only allowed with --install

So I look at help and install is for installing a new service

So I look at what services are installed:

> cygrunsrv.exe -L
cygserver
messagebus
syslogd

Looks like the cygserver is already installed...

Looking in the services control panel, I see cygserver, 
messagebus and syslogd, but syslogd won't stay running.

Since I just ran the cygrunsrv command above, not sure if that
started it or not. 

If I specify two services on the command line, should it
have started both? with the same 'cygrunsrv'?  They are set
to start on system boot, but after the cyg-upgrade, they were 
likely killed and restarting 'X' likely didn't restart anything
because of the error.  

Because cygserver won't let you start syslogd unless stderr 
isn't a TTY, I have to send cygserver's error off to /dev/null,
so I wouldn't have seen any errors.  

So...am guessing it wasn't running, but may be now (not sure
why syslogd isn't running -- will have to check that out later.

But for now, will have to see if this reoccurs ....

Thanks for the possible cause! ;-)

Gotta love SW!
