Try explicitly specifying it using the "-1" and "-2" cygrunsrv options. Also, what does the Windows Event log show (on Win2k, right-click on "My Computer", choose "Manage", then "Event Viewer"->Application). > Putting a cygcheck -svr in the service script and redirecting output to a > file I get this with the last line (code 5) repeated a few times before the > Terminated Message. > > cygcheck: dump_sysinfo: GetVolumeInformation() failed: 67 > cygcheck: dump_sysinfo: GetVolumeInformation() failed: 67 > cygcheck: dump_sysinfo: GetVolumeInformation() failed: 5 > .... > .... > Terminated $ net helpmsg 67 The network name cannot be found. $ net helpmsg 5 Access is denied. I'd suspect something wrong with your mounts (e.g., they aren't system mounts), or directory permissions. The output of "cygcheck -svr" from a regular shell would have been very helpful (and it *is* requested in the Cygwin problem reporting guidelines at <http://cygwin.com/problems.html>, which you should read in any case). > Putting > env >> tempfile > doesn't produce anything from within the service. Which probably means that the service runs with an empty environment... Unless... Try specifying /bin/env explicitly, just in case, as well as the full path to the tempfile. Putting 'echo "$PATH" >&2' into the bash script might also be helpful. > Looks like it's only stderr being generated from within the service as there > is none of the additional info I get from these two commands when it is run > interactively. > > Tried the INT signal, same symptons.

Googling for "system-owned window cygwin" should give you a couple of recipes.
