I've used dnscache for network service dependencies (and cygserver and syslog-ng for other Cygwin services) with delayed start and preshutdown (cygrunsrv -O, --preshutdown). Where previous usage was cygrunsrv -t, --type manual is now called demand service startup type. You can set service startup type using: $ sc config cygsshd start= boot|system|auto|demand|disabled|delayed-auto # option flag requires = and the value must be a separate argument and check them using: $ sc query cygsshd SERVICE_NAME: cygsshd TYPE : 10 WIN32_OWN_PROCESS STATE : 4 RUNNING (STOPPABLE, NOT_PAUSABLE, ACCEPTS_PRESHUTDOWN) WIN32_EXIT_CODE : 0 (0x0) SERVICE_EXIT_CODE : 0 (0x0) CHECKPOINT : 0x0 WAIT_HINT : 0x0 $ sc qc cygsshd [SC] QueryServiceConfig SUCCESS SERVICE_NAME: cygsshd TYPE : 10 WIN32_OWN_PROCESS START_TYPE : 3 DEMAND_START ERROR_CONTROL : 1 NORMAL BINARY_PATH_NAME : C:\...\bin\cygrunsrv.exe LOAD_ORDER_GROUP : TAG : 0 DISPLAY_NAME : CYGWIN sshd DEPENDENCIES : dnscache : cygserver : syslog-ng SERVICE_START_NAME : LocalSystem $ regtool -pv list /proc/registry/HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Services/cygsshd/ ... Start (REG_DWORD) = 0x00000002 (2) # [auto] DelayedAutostart (REG_DWORD) = 0x00000001 (1) # [delayed] ... $ regtool -pv list /proc/registry/HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Services/cygsshd/Parameters/ ... Preshutdown (REG_DWORD) = 0x00000001 (1) # [preshutdown] ... As the reg entries show, you can also do this by adding or setting registry entries using Cygwin regtool, Windows reg, or regedit commands. -- Take care.
