I have a suggestion for cygrunsrv.
When you add a Service as a user from the Windows services applet, it
will automatically grant "Log on as Service" rights to that user.
Cygrunsrv does not automagically grant rights, which is probably a good
thing, but the error message is not specific, which is a bad thing.
When you install the service you get no complaint:
$ cygrunsrv.exe -I sshd -d "SSHD" -p /usr/sbin/sshd -a "-D" -u me
Enter password of user `HOST\flip':
Reenter, please:
When you start the service you get
$ cygrunsrv.exe -S sshd
cygrunsrv.exe: Error starting a service: StartService:
Win32 error 1069: The service did not start due to a logon failure.
It would be nice if cygrunsrv complained when you _install_ rather than
_start_ the service, if possible.
Also, cygrunsrv should precisely specify the source of the problem --
"The given user does not have 'Log on as Service' rights" -- or at least
generically suggest that the user investigate the issue.
Cheers,
flip
