Cygrunsrv starts service but reports that it didn't start

["Jet Wilda" <jet dot wilda at kobie dot com>]

Hi,

	I have the program samhain
(http://la-samhna.de/samhain/index.html) installed and it runs.  So now
I'm trying to get it setup as a service that will start on startup.
Here is what I've done:

$ cygrunsrv -I samhain -d "CYGWIN samhain" -p /usr/local/sbin/samhain -a
"-D" -e "CYGWIN=ntsec tty"

Listing the services shows

$ cygrunsrv -LV
Service             : sshd
Display name        : CYGWIN sshd
Current State       : Running
Controls Accepted   : Stop
Command             : /usr/sbin/sshd -D
stdin path          : /dev/null
stderr path         : /var/log/sshd.log
Environment         : CYGWIN="ntsec tty"
Process Type        : Own Process
Startup             : Automatic
Account             : LocalSystem

Service             : samhain
Display name        : CYGWIN samhain
Current State       : Stopped
Command             : /usr/local/sbin/samhain -D
stdin path          : /dev/null
stdout path         : /var/log/samhain.log
stderr path         : /var/log/samhain.log
Environment         : CYGWIN="ntsec tty"
Process Type        : Own Process
Startup             : Automatic
Account             : LocalSystem

However when I try to start it I get:

$ cygrunsrv: Error starting a service: QueryServiceStatus:  Win32 error
1062:
The service has not been started.

But the service is started:

Notice C:\cygwin\usr\local\sbin\samhain.exe is running.  I have verified
that it is reporting stuff back to the monitoring server as well.  The
cygrunsrv doesn't think it started though and here is what is in the
event log:

The samhain log file just reports that it started and is why it isn't
included.  Does this have to do with the way samhain forks to become a
daemon?  If so how would I get it so that I can start and stop the
service via the services panel or via cygrunsrv?


TIA
