- Subject: observation: cygrunsrv -env option: max env var size is 256 chars
Based on a few tests this morning under 1.5.9(0.112/4/2),
the cygrunsrv -env option supports env vars
with a string length below 257 characters. Larger env vars
seem to get into the registry, but not into the service's env.
If I'm right it would be nice if "cygrunsrv --help" showed this.
I read the help as saying up to 255 separate env vars may be
defined.
