Yep, exactly (except there's a small typo above - it should be "/c"). In other words, something like echo 'echo %PATH%' > /tmp/test.bat chmod a+r /tmp/test.bat cygrunsrv -I test -d "PATH test" -p `which cmd.exe` -a '/c c:\cygwin\tmp\test.bat' -1 /var/log/test.log -2 /var/log/test.log -t manual cygrunsrv -S test cygrunsrv -R test should do just fine. BTW, "cygrunsrv -S" will result in a "service has not been started" error, but that's expected. Look in /var/log/test.log for the output.
