> Don't see where you read that? The service control manager waits until the service stops or the specified preshutdown time-out value expires (this value can be set with the ChangeServiceConfig2 function).

Depends. When you are ready to reboot you usually don't have anything important running by then. Also, emails "abandoned" while sending will be re-sent, in most decent mailers. Finally, when you do need the pre-shutdown option, you can specify it with cygrunsrv directly (-O, --preshutdown) -- no need to deal with any manual registry changes. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
