What way can I pass env var "CYGWIN" to the Cygwin service?
cygrunsrv --help shows this:
-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.
These are added as REG_SZ values in
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\<servicename>\Parameters\Environment
registry subkey.
The HKLM/System env vars are where I would expect to add env vars to be used by
all services or any particular service.
For visibility, I would make them global HKLM/System env vars, or load them from
/etc/config files.
The HKCU/HKU env vars are only used by processes running under a user login.
