Subject: ssh as a tunnel service (port forwarding) won't work

Hi folks,

I tried to implement a ssh tunnel (port forwarder) as a service via the comand

cygrunsrv -I SSHFWD -p /usr/bin/ssh -a "-2 -N -L 5175:tc2:5175 -l hendl tc2"

This command works fine but at time I want to start the service with "net start SSHFWD" the System gives an error back. I can find the following message in the event log:

"The description of the event ID (0) in source (SSHFWD) could not be
found. It contains the following: Insert character string (n):SSHFWD:
Win32 Process ID = 0x14C: Cygwin Process ID = 0x14C: ` SSHFWD ' service
stopped."

A ssh connection from the cmdline works fine. That means that the key functionality works passwordless.

Thanks for help!
Stephan
