I have modified my Cygwin services definitions to do Delayed Autostart 
and Preshutdown, with appropriate Windows service and 
inter-dependencies, shut them down and restart them in local scheduled 
tasks run under SYSTEM account on appropriate events and on demand, and 
restart them in a late local permanent postinstall script 
/etc/postinstall/zp_z0_l_start_services.dash after setup.

Some combination of these techniques may allow your sysadmin to set 
things up for you to control these services without their intervention.
