Right.  There is nothing wrong with this.  'cygrunsrv' is the program that's
run to start the Cygwin service you want.  The service is a parameter that's
stored with the registry.  You can see the information you're looking for 
with the following:

cat /proc/registry/HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Services/<service name>/Parameters/AppPath

where <service name> is the name you gave to the service at install time.
