root@ITO2 ~
$ cygrunsrv.exe -R sshd
cygrunsrv: Error removing a service: QueryServiceStatus:  Win32 error 1053:
The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.


root@ITO2 ~
$ cygrunsrv.exe -R init
cygrunsrv: Error removing a service: QueryServiceStatus:  Win32 error 1053:
The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.
