I don't think there is a hard-coded system timeout, as long as the starting service keeps posting its START_PENDING status, the service controller will wait. And cygrunsrv seems to be doing that already. MSDN doc says exactly that. And I've also seen some articles that tell the same. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/api/winsvc/nf-winsvc-setservicestatus -- 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

If so, I completely forgot about that... This is the best I could dig right now at the subject. https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/499465/Simple-Windows-Service-in-Cplusplus And MSDN article https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/services/the-complete-service-sample Looks much the same. All the internet flooded with useless "pick 'service application' template in Visual Studio" crap, hiding the actually useful information. May be some more time spent in Google with control signal names reveal even older (== more useful) articles. Don't have that time right now, sorry. :( -- With best regards, Andrey Repin Friday, February 15, 2019 16:59:39 Sorry for my terrible english... -- 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

No, 30 seconds is a hard system timeout in which a service must reply with an appropriate control message to let services.exe know it is ready to continue startup sequence. > It would be quite useful (in certain situations) to have a command-line > parameter (for the -I option) that can specify a service startup timeout, > longer or shorter than the preset default. Is there such a feature at all to begin with? A link to MSDN would suffice. -- With best regards, Andrey Repin Friday, February 15, 2019 14:42:40 Sorry for my terrible english... -- 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

cygrunsrv to have a timeout parameter for service startup
Hi all, It looks like the cygrunsrv utility hardcodes 30 seconds as a maximal time for a service to start, then bails out with a failure. It would be quite useful (in certain situations) to have a command-line parameter (for the -I option) that can specify a service startup timeout, longer or shorter than the preset default. Thanks for considering this, Anton Lavrentiev P.S. Maybe for the service shutdown as well, separate or the same parameter used. -- 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
