According to my investigation and understanding as of this writing, the behavior appears to be as follows: 1. Restart Manager sees the cygrunsrv.exe executable correctly as a service and as restartable. This is good. 2. However, any executable spawned by cygrunsrv.exe as a service (e.g., sshd.exe), is seen as NOT restartable for some reason. This is not so good, and prevents the service from being restarted automatically by Restart Manager. I don't know the explanation for this behavior. It seems unintuitive and is confusing, at the least. Just a guess: Perhaps this behavior would be resolved if Cygwin executables used RegisterApplicationRestart[1] ? In any case, I have an imperfect workaround, but it would be good if this workaround wasn't necessary.
