bug with cygserver-config not working anymore

[Christian Lupien]

On a recent system install, I tried to install cygserver by executing
 cygserver-config
but it failed saying that cygserver was already running.

I have done that same install for many years with success.

I tracked down the problem to the service discovery line inside the
script (line 92) that uses:
 ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep -q ${service_name}
but since ps -f was changed in commit (2024-01-31)
1ce9756ee61e8dff5e3319851e14ebf310a0bdd8 to return the cmdline which it
did not before, this fails because the script finds itself (cygserver-
config is found by grep -q ${service_name})

I think the solution would be to remove the -f option to ps. So a patch
would be like:
--- cygserver-config.orig	2025-04-30 17:23:24.461779400 -0400
+++ cygserver-config	2025-04-30 17:23:47.067576200 -0400

   echo "There is a cygserver (${service_name}) already running. Nothing to do, apparently."
