This makes no difference. I still get the reported errors.

In this doc, I have followed the first prescription, setting CYGWIN
to server in my Windows environment. (If so I shouldn't even need
to add `set CYGWIN=server` in cygwin.bat. Isn't this correct?).
set CYGWIN=server in cygwin.bat should be enough.
In your bash
$ printenv CYGWIN
should print: server
Therefore, I should not have to use `cygrunsrv -I foo -p /usr/sbin/foo
-e "CYGWIN=server"` Isn't this correct? In any case I am not sure what
"service" to implement here to replace "foo"?
If you use any service which uses IPC, you must use the recommended -e
"CYGWIN=server" setting. You can look through your cygwin services
(cygrunsrv -L e.g.) and look if some cygwin service requires this
setting (wading though the docs e.g.).
Out of my head I know by hard only sshd (optional) and PostgreSQL
cat
/proc/registry/HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Services/sshd/
Parameters/Environment/CYGWIN
=> server
cat
/proc/registry/HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Services/PostgreSQL/
Parameters/Environment/CYGWIN
=> server
I did try adding `set CYGWIN=server` in my startupx.sh, but I still get the
same errors.
That is an error.
.sh shell files require a shell syntax, not a MSDOS command syntax.
Try "export CYGWIN=server" in your startupx.sh.
