Hi all, I have a suggestion that cygrunsrv doesn't ask for any password with the option -u (and -w not provided), if the specified user is like "NT SERVICE\svcname", where svcname is the service being added.
Otherwise, cygrunsrv is not self-sufficient for defining a service, and has to be further supplemented with a "patch" using the native "SC" command. Yet having every service to run under the privileged LocalSystem account is not always justified. So, instead of having to do a two-step process: cygrunsrv -I svcname ... sc config svcname obj= "NT SERVICE\svcname" everything could be done in one command: cygrunsrv -I svcname -u "NT SERVICE\svcname" ...
