BUG: 'cron' fails to stop with -i flag

- Subject: BUG: 'cron' fails to stop with -i flag
I have installed 'cron' as a service using the following:
cygrunsrv -I cron -d "CYGWIN cron" -p /usr/sbin/cron -a -D -e
"CYGWIN=server ntsec tty" -i
The -i flag is needed for certain cron job scripts.
It starts and runs fine using:
cygrunsrv -S cron
A reading of the services shows:
Service : cron
Display name : CYGWIN cron
Current State : Running
Controls Accepted : Stop
Command : /usr/sbin/cron -D
However, when I try to stop it using:
cygrunsrv -E cron
I get the following:
cygrunsrv: Error stopping a service: QueryServiceStatus: Win32 error
1053:
The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely
fashion.
'ps -a' shows the cron process is still present:
3648 1 3648 3648 ? 18 20:59:40
/usr/bin/cygrunsrv
3680 3648 3648 2108 ? 18 20:59:40 /usr/sbin/cron
A reading of the services shows:
Service : cron
Display name : CYGWIN cron
Current State : Stop Pending
Controls Accepted : Stop
Command : /usr/sbin/cron -D
I have to use 'kill' (i.e. 'kill `cat /var/run/cron.pid`') to remove the
process.
I have tried adding '-s TERM', '-s INT' and even '-s KILL' to the
install command:
cygrunsrv -I cron -d "CYGWIN cron" -p /usr/sbin/cron -a -D -e
"CYGWIN=server ntsec tty" -i -s TERM
but none of them (not even '-s KILL') terminate the cron daemon when
trying to stop the service.
If I install without the -i flag, it starts and stops with no problems.
(However, as mentioned, certain cron job script don't work properly.)
Therefore, there is something about the use of the -i flag that is
causing the problem.
(cygcheck -s output attached.)
