This fix was part of my patch from June in <http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-patches/2005-q2/msg00138.html> but since it was grouped with the unrelated cygcheck -p code, it kind of got lost on the floor. > why not simply run "cygrunsrv --list --verbose" in verbose mode, instead > of actually going through one iteration of the loop? Simply to reuse the > "copy output" code? Brian? The reason I did it that way is because if I had run "cygrunsrv --list --verbose" initially, then it would be necessary to parse the output and extract out the service names, since it has to run "cygrunsrv --query" for each individual service in the case of (!verbose). By running just "cygrunsrv --list" you get a simple listing of service names with no parsing necessary, and I did not want to make cygcheck depend on the particular output format of cygrunsrv. This is awkward I admit because there is no cygrunsrv option that does the equivalent of "--query" for all services. So to support both verbose and non-verbose listing of all services, you either have to run "--list --verbose" and then filter out the fields that should not be in the verbose output, or you have to run "--query" individually for each service. And I did not want to mess about with text parsing and filtering so I decided to take the easy route and just invoke cygrunsrv a few extra times. Brian
