from the command line I mean typing
cygrunsrv -S cron
or
cygrunsrv -S shhd
it starts with 1.5.18. Eith 1.5.19 I get
"cygrunsrv: Error starting a service: QueryServiceStatus: Win32 error 1053:
The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely
fashion"
and there is a hanged cygrunsrv in "ps -a"
PID PPID PGID WINPID TTY UID STIME COMMAND
2004 1 2004 2004 con 1004 11:38:52 /usr/bin/bash
164 1 164 164 ? 18 11:39:10 /usr/bin/cygrunsrv
2384 2004 2384 3600 con 1004 11:39:26 /usr/bin/ps
with no cron or shhd.
Now I run it as a user with Administrative power. I don't know how to open a
bash shell
as SYSTEM. How do you do that?

As I said I dont know how to open a SYSTEM-owned bash shell
