Isn't there already one?

or in more readable, executable syntax:

for serv in `cygrunsrv --list` inetd ; do
  cygrunsrv --stop $serv
  cygrunsrv --remove $serv
done

By the way, I've always been a bit annoyed that inetd is not like
all other cygwin services, so that it doesn't show in cygrunsrv's list.

[Nasty - cygrunsrv --help prints to stderr and fails with exit status
1 - that should be fixed.]

singular also installs start menu icons, these days.
