Ugh, top-posting...  Reformatted.

That was due to a Cygwin bug that has since been fixed.

When you say "none will start from the command line", what is the exact
command line you're using?  Are you starting them as SYSTEM, or as a
regular user?

Try opening a SYSTEM-owned bash shell and starting the service program
explicitly, with the same arguments that cygrunsrv would give it (see
"cygrunsrv --verbose -Q SERVICENAME" for those arguments).  If this
doesn't work either, we've ruled out cygrunsrv.
