I have modified my Cygwin services definitions to do Delayed Autostart and Preshutdown, with appropriate Windows service and inter-dependencies, shut them down and restart them in local scheduled tasks run under SYSTEM account on appropriate events and on demand, and restart them in a late local permanent postinstall script /etc/postinstall/zp_z0_l_start_services.dash after setup. Some combination of these techniques may allow your sysadmin to set things up for you to control these services without their intervention. -- Take care.
