-
-<para>
- The Cygserver services are used by Cygwin applications only if you
- set the environment variable CYGWIN to contain the string "server".
- You must do this before starting the application.
-</para>
-<para>
- Typically, you don't need any other option, so it's ok to set CYGWIN
- just to "server". It is not necessary to set the CYGWIN environment
- variable prior to starting the Cygserver process itself, but it won't
- hurt to do so.
-</para>

- The easiest way is to set the environment variable CYGWIN to the values
- you want in the Windows system environment and to reboot the machine.
- This is advisable, since it allows you to set the variable once and
- then forget about it. It also ensures that services as well as desktop
- applications have the same setting.
-</para>

- If you don't want that for whatever reason, you can set the
- variable in the /cygwin.bat file which is used in the net distribution,
- to start a Cygwin bash from the desktop. In that file, you can set
- the CYGWIN variable using Windows command line interpreter syntax, e. g.:

- <screen>
- set CYGWIN=server
- </screen>
-</para>
-<para>
- If you don't set CYGWIN in the system environment, but you're running
- other Cygwin services, these services need to get that CYGWIN value by
- setting the environment using the appropriate cygrunsrv option '-e' when
- installing the service. Example installing a service 'foo':
-</para>
-<para>
- <screen>
- cygrunsrv -I foo -p /usr/sbin/foo -e "CYGWIN=server"
- </screen>
