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

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?

Googling for "syste-owned shell" (with quotes) points your right at the thread with the relevant shortcut.

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

Let us know if the above works for you.

OK Here are results in a system-owned shell:
MINERVA(~)$ /usr/sbin/cron -D

So you see that from a SYSTEM account the first service starts but second service hangs.
If I use a bash shell own by me even rhe first does not start.
If one does not use cygrunsrv both cron and sshd start.
