Re: cygrunsrv -S postmaster giving error

Rajesh,

My experience with starting postmaster as a service under Windows is that
you MUST use a password with the login name.  Also make sure that there is
no remnant "postmaster.pid" file in your database directory when you try to
start postmaster as a service.
