For those of us without the benefit of the M$ Windows NT or 2000
Resource Kit, cygwin's own cygrunsrv does the equivalent (or better)
job than the M$ instsrv/srvany.
An example for installing rsyncd as a WinXX service (assuming rsync.exe and
rsyncd.conf are in c:\rsyncd):
cygrunsrv.exe -I "RSYNC" -p c:\rsyncd\rsync.exe -a "--config=c:\rsyncd\rsyncd.conf --daemon --no-detach"
Then just use the Services panel to start the rsync service. No need for
registry edits for the command-line arguments.
