Jason,
when ever I try the following I get the subsequent error.
I have set the user 'dani' to be a member of Users, Power Users, and Administrators (I did this progressively trying to install fetchmail at each every change).
cygrunsrv --install "fetchmail for dani" --path /usr/bin/fetchmail --env HOME
=/home/dani --user "GATEWAY\\dani" --args '--daemon 300 --nodetach' --shutdown
cygrunsrv: Error installing a service: OpenSCManager: Win32 error 5:
Access is denied.
Do you have any ideas?
Regards,
Jim
