RE: OpenLDAP NT Service

[kandryc at miser dot umass dot edu]

Thanks Vince,

I was trying to do this, however, I can't find the documentation on how to add
the sysV init scripts as a service. I think you just add /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit as
a service using:

# cygrunsrv --install rc.sysinit --path /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit --disp "CYGWIN sysinit"

Is this correct?
