from the command line I mean typing
cygrunsrv -S cron
or
cygrunsrv -S shhd
it starts with 1.5.18. Eith 1.5.19 I get
"cygrunsrv: Error starting a service: QueryServiceStatus: Win32 error 1053:
The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely
fashion"
and there is a hanged cygrunsrv in "ps -a"
      PID    PPID    PGID     WINPID  TTY  UID    STIME COMMAND
     2004       1    2004       2004  con 1004 11:38:52 /usr/bin/bash
      164       1     164        164    ?   18 11:39:10 /usr/bin/cygrunsrv
     2384    2004    2384       3600  con 1004 11:39:26 /usr/bin/ps
with no cron or shhd.
Now I run it as a user with Administrative power. I don't know how to open a 
bash shell
as SYSTEM. How do you do that?

As I said I dont know how to open a SYSTEM-owned bash shell
