cygrunsrv was specificially created to run Cygwin applications. For instance, it expects that the inferior application has an idea what a POSIX signal is. That said, it would be possible to allow native Windows apps to run under cygrunsrv, but it doesn't really look worth the effort, given that *useful* native Windows tools for manipulating services are available, like the on-board tool "sc". Otherwise, if you're still interested to change cygrunsrv: http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#SHTDI http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#PTC Corinna -- Corinna Vinschen Please, send mails regarding Cygwin to Cygwin Project Co-Leader cygwin AT cygwin DOT com Red Hat, Inc. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
