You have two choices:

cygrunsrv -I samhain -d "CYGWIN samhain" -p /usr/local/sbin/samhain -a --fo=
reground

or see if it creates a .pid file and use

cygrunsrv -I samhain -d "CYGWIN samhain" -p /usr/local/sbin/samhain -a -D
-x /var/run/samhain.pid

where I used "/var/run/samhain.pid" as an example.

You'll have to check that all files and directories where the daemon writes=
 or
creates files are usable by user SYSTEM which, unless you change it, is the=
 user
who will be running the service.
