Thanks guys, now I'm a little further:
I installed that cygserver, and now I can start a postgresql with
/etc/rc.d/init.d/postgresql startlocal
If I try to start the service, I'm getting:
$ /etc/rc.d/init.d/postgresql start
Starting PostgreSQL: - cygserver OK - cygrunsrv: Error starting a
service: OpenS
ervice: Win32 error 1060:
Der angegebene Dienst ist kein installierter Dienst.
[This is a German Windows, and the above message translates to English
like "the service is not an installed service"]
ERROR service start FAILED

I would rather like to start everything at boot time with init.
Is there anything else I need to do?
Thanks for your help,
Gordon

I'm trying to setup a Postgresql server on Windows-XP/Cygwin. I've done
this a couple of times on Linux, and I'm experiencing some difficulties
on Windows.
I have installed the packages postgresql (version 8.0.7-1) and
cygrunserv (version 1.17-1), and I have syslog and init running.
If I'm trying to run /etc/rc.d/init.d/postgresql initdb, and I'm getting
the following error messages:
"Bad system call" usually indicates that you need cygserver installed
and running. And reading /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/postgresql-*.README
confirms this. Read /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/cygserver.README for details.
And it's an FAQ:
