when starting a service that is installed with 'cygrunsrv -I' and has
the 'allow service to interact with desktop' property on, then a (black)
console window appears from cygrunsrv itself.
I need the property for my service.
Is it possible to suppress the console window ??

Hi All...
In testing out my keychain service on a new XP system, I was thinking about
all of the questions
that have shown up on the cygwin@... list in the past about launching a
service from a user-id other than SYSTEM. And...I was wondering how you(s)
felt about adding the ability for cygrunsrv to change user-id before running
the target application.
Are there any negatives to doing it?
It seems that the security is no worse than having XP store passwords for
the user-id's of the services.
Other than using OpenSSH as an example, is there any other guidance you
would give?
Or...Corinna...if it is easy, is this something that you would consider
adding?
Thanks,
...Karl

Why should cygrunsrv switch users? Why not just install the service to
run as the desired user? cygrunsrv already supports this with --user.

Hi Brian...
Installing the service as a specific user works, and I have used it that way
for a long time. However, to do that I add rights to the users to log on as
a service. Given that there has been questions from time to time about what
rights and how to set them, I wondered if giving cygrunsrv the ability to
change users would reduce this. I can live with things as they are, I
thought it would be a usefull addition.
It would be a significant learning curve for me, so I wanted to see if there
was interest and/or someone who was willing to implement it before
embarking.
Thanks,
...Karl

It sounds a bit confusing to me. The result are two different ways
to install a service as user with one of them somewhat obfuscated.
> Are there any negatives to doing it?
Is there any additional gain over installing as user?

This is a clear case of http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#PTC
The sources of cygrunsrv are in CVS on sourceware as module "cygrunsrv"
in the repository :pserver:anoncvs@cygwin.com:/cvs/cygwin-apps.

Possibly nothing.
Looking at my services, cron/inetd/sshd, all of which are working and
all of which were basically default installs, I note that cron and sshd
both show the path to the executable as cygrunsrv.

When I try to install services using cygrunsrv, the XP service manager
always lists the path to the executable as cygrunsrv rather than the
executable I tried to install. What might I be doing wrong?
Thanks...

Hi Corinna...
Would you be willing to accept a patch to cygrunsrv to set the Description
field in the services panel?
If yes, would you prefer that I expand the functionality of
install_registry_keys
to make registry entries at this new level or add a new function? I would
favor expanding the current function.
Do you have any preference for the option names?
Thanks,
...Karl

I agree.

--desc ?!? I'm not quite sure about the single character option,
-x, perhaps...
