OK, I've verified that cygrunsrv does in fact work on my machine - I
daemonized /bin/yes.exe just for kicks, and it runs properly.
I'm wondering, is there anything cygrunsrv doesn't like with native win32
apps rather than cygwinized apps?? Would it be worth my while to say,
rewrite my 2 line batch file in Perl (under cygwin), then run PerlApp to
turn it into an executable??
