As I understand cygrunsrv, when you remove a service it also assumes you wish to stop that service. If the service refuses to stop -- which isn't that uncommon for services started under cygrunsrv (for testing) since they don't know they are "services" -- then you will see that error. I believe that cygrunsrv has already changed the registry (unconfirmed) and therefore the service will be gone on next boot. (If not, I would consider this a bug in cygrunsrv.) It might help (pure speculation) to enable one of the "signals" when creating Cygwin-Apps as services. This way the "stop" will include a HUP or TERM. -- Herb Martin -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
