This was already a problem for some time.  I have a look into fixing this.

This is very likely.  For this scenario it might make a lot of sense
to run cygserver, see the docs for this.

You're welcome :)

Now that you mention it... yes, a service dependency might be helpful.
Unfortunately it's tricky to automate this.  Is it possible to add
service deps after having installed a service?

I'm glad if you like it,
