rsync in cygwin as service

[Nitin Agarwal]

Hi!
U can try the following way....

1) Make a directory called RSYNC and copy rsync.exe, supporting dll files
(cryptogrph-0.dll, cygwin1.dll), srvany.exe in this directory
2) now go to dos prompt .. (c:\rsync) and give command "instsrv "Rsync"
c:\rsync\srvany.exe"
3) this will install the service in win2k...
4) now u need to give all parameters in services in control panel...for running it
in daemon.

Nits.
