How to use the Cygserver services:
The Cygserver services are used by Cygwin applications only if you
set the environment variable CYGWIN to contain the string "server".
You must do this before starting the application.
Typically, you don't need any other option, so it's ok to set CYGWIN
just to "server". It is not necessary to set the CYGWIN environment
variable prior to starting the Cygserver process itself, but it won't
hurt to do so.
The easiest way is to set the environment variable CYGWIN to the values
you want in the Windows system environment and to reboot the machine.
This is advisable, since it allows you to set the variable once and
then forget about it. It also ensures that services as well as desktop
applications have the same setting.
If you don't want that for whatever reason, you can set the
variable in the /cygwin.bat file which is used in the net distribution,
to start a Cygwin bash from the desktop. In that file, you can set
the CYGWIN variable using Windows command line interpreter syntax, e. g.:
set CYGWIN=server
If you don't set CYGWIN in the system environment, but you're running
other Cygwin services, these services need to get that CYGWIN value by
setting the environment using the appropriate cygrunsrv option '-e' when
installing the service. Example installing a service 'foo':
cygrunsrv -I foo -p /usr/sbin/foo -e "CYGWIN=server"
