Yep, exactly (except there's a small typo above - it should be "/c").
In other words, something like

echo 'echo %PATH%' > /tmp/test.bat
chmod a+r /tmp/test.bat
cygrunsrv -I test -d "PATH test" -p `which cmd.exe` -a '/c c:\cygwin\tmp\test.bat' -1 /var/log/test.log -2 /var/log/test.log -t manual
cygrunsrv -S test
cygrunsrv -R test

should do just fine.  BTW, "cygrunsrv -S" will result in a "service
has not been started" error, but that's expected.  Look in
/var/log/test.log for the output.
