I want to get inetd daemon working on a machine running Cygwin. I know how to do this on Centos 4, but on Cygwin it does not seem to work.

Commands I tried are:

cygrunsrv -I xinetd -d "Cygwin Xinetd" -p /usr/sbin/xinetd -e CYGWIN=ntsec
cygrunsrv -S xinetd
/etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd start

On Linux, I would just do:

/sbin/service xinetd restart

After editing my configuration file:

/etc/xinetd.d/<myAppHere>

I've created this file on Cygwin, but can't seem to figure out how to start the service.
