cygrunsrv help

$ cygrunsrv.exe  -h

Usage: cygrunsrv [OPTION]...

Main options: Exactly one is required.
  -I, --install <svc_name>  Installes a new service named <svc_name>.
  -R, --remove <svc_name>   Removes a service named <svc_name>.
  -S, --start <svc_name>    Starts a service named <svc_name>.
  -E, --stop <svc_name>     Stops a service named <svc_name>.
  -Q, --query <svc_name>    Queries a service named <svc_name>.
  -L, --list [server]       Lists services that have been installed
                            with cygrunsrv.
  <svc_name> can be a local service or "server/svc_name" or "server\svc_name".

Required install options:
  -p, --path <app_path>     Application path which is run as a service.

Miscellaneous install options:
  -P, --crs-path <path>     Path to cygrunsrv. This is useful for testing or
                            when installing a service on a remote machine.
  -a, --args <args>         Optional string with command line options which
                            is given to the service application on startup.
  -c, --chdir <directory>   Optional directory which will be used as working
                            directory for the application.
  -e, --env <VAR=VALUE>     Optional environment strings which are added
                            to the environment when service is started.
                            You can add up to 255 environment strings using
                            the `--env' option.
                            Note: /bin is always added to $PATH to allow all
                            started applications to find at least cygwin1.dll.
  -d, --disp <display name> Optional string which contains the display name
                            of the service. Defaults to service name.

                            Defaults to SYSTEM account.
  -w, --passwd <password>   Optional password for user. Only needed
                            if a user is given. If a user has an empty
                            password, enter `-w '. If a user is given but
                            no password, cygrunsrv will ask for a password
                            interactively.
  -s, --termsig <signal>    Optional signal to send to service application
                            when service is stopped.  <signal> can be a number
                            or a signal name such as HUP, INT, QUIT, etc.
                            Default is TERM.
  -z, --shutsig <signal>    Optional signal to send to service application
                            when shutdown has been initiated.  Default is the
                            same signal as defined as termination signal.
  -y, --dep <svc_name2>     Optional name of service that must be started
                            before this new service.  The --dep option may
                            be given up to 16 times, listing another dependent
                            service each time.
  -0, --stdin <file>        Optional input file used for stdin redirection.
                            Default is /dev/null.
  -1, --stdout <file>       Optional output file used for stdout redirection.
                            Default is /var/log/<svc_name>.log.

                            after fork().
                            Default is that application must not fork().
  -n, --neverexits          Service should never exit by itself.
  -O, --preshutdown         Stop service application during system preshutdown.
  -o, --shutdown            Stop service application during system shutdown.
                            (Only one of --preshutdown and --shutdown is
                             accepted.  Preshutdown is preferred, but only
                             available since Windows Vista/Longhorn.  On earlier

                             OS versions it's silently converted to --shutdown).

  -i, --interactive         Allow service to interact with the desktop
                            (No effect since Windows Vista/Longhorn).
  -j, --nohide              Don't hide console window when service interacts
                            with desktop.

Informative output:
  -V, --verbose             When used with --query or --list, causes extra
                            information to be printed.
  -h, --help                print this help, then exit.
  -v, --version             print cygrunsrv program version number, then exit.

cron-config output

$ cron-config
Do you want to install the cron daemon as a service? (yes/no) yes
Enter the value of CYGWIN for the daemon: [ ]

You must decide under what account the cron daemon will run.
If you are the only user on this machine, the daemon can run as yourself.
   This gives access to all network drives but only allows you as user.
Otherwise cron should run under the local system account.
  It will be capable of changing to other users without requiring a
  password, using one of the three methods detailed in
  http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html#ntsec-nopasswd1
Do you want the cron daemon to run as yourself? (yes/no) yes

Please enter the password for user 'kenneth':
Reenter:
Running cron_diagnose ...
WARNING: You do not currently have a crontab file.

... no problem found.

Do you want to start the cron daemon as a service now? (yes/no) yes
OK. The cron daemon is now running.

In case of problem, examine the log file for cron,
/var/log/cron.log, and the Windows event log (using /usr/bin/cronevents)
for information about the problem cron is having.

Examine also any cron.log file in the HOME directory
(or the file specified in MAILTO) and cron related files in /tmp.

If you cannot fix the problem, then report it to cygwin@cygwin.com.
Please run the script /usr/bin/cronbug and ATTACH its output
(the file cronbug.txt) to your e-mail.

WARNING: PATH may be set differently under cron than in interactive shells.
         Names such as "find" and "date" may refer to Windows programs.
