Forget about "init 5" or "init 6", in Cygwin most services are installed as
Windows services, and as such they start with the OS and stop with the OS (=
or
under your control -- Windows Manage Services or net start/stop/restart ...)

Wrong, if you install the inetd or the xinetd package in Cygwin, follow the
instructions in /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/<name and version of package>.README,=
 then
you end up with a Windows service.

The big question is: what services do you want?

There is an initscripts package but I would recommend to stay away from it =
(I
have not tested it recently but a year ago it didn't work for anything but =
the
sample) and xinetd depends on it so the same goes for it.
