Interesting guess, but I did not manage to run xinetd as a service.
Is there a way to run xinetd with "desktop interaction", but not as
a service? As I started xinetd manually I thought that interaction
with the desktop would be allowed and possible. Thanks for any hint!
Cheers, WB
P.S. My attempt to run xinetd as a service:
$ cygrunsrv -I xinetd -i -p /usr/sbin/xinetd.exe
$ cygrunsrv -S xinetd
$ cygrunsrv -Q xinetd
Service xinetd exists
Type : Undefined type
Current State : Stopped
Controls Accepted :
$
If I start the service from the GUI it looks like it is started, but
some seconds later it is stopped again. I would prefer to run xinetd
"manually" for now anyway.
