  I'm afraid it's not currently possible, cygrunsrv does not have any
options to set the restart settings.  It wouldn't be very hard to modify
cygrunsrv; the restart options are presumably stored in the registry along
with the other service parameters, so it would just be a matter of parsing a
few more command-line options and writing a few extra registry key/values.
