Creating a service for snmpd.exe on windows server + Cygwin












1















I need to create a service for the snmp daemon snmpd.exe which is installed on my windows server 2016.
I use sc create snmpd binPath= "C:/path/to/snmpd.exe" and then I try to start it with sc start snmpd but I get the following error:



The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.



How can I create a working service for this binary please ?
I'm using cygwin with my windows server if it helps.



I do not need to make it work in that exact way, any other solutions are welcome, I just need a working service with this binary.



PS: I only have an ssh access to the server



Thank you.

  • I would suggest download the Windows 2003 resource kit - microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=17657 - to get the tools: Instsrv.exe and Srvany.exe. You can use these to create a service out of what I assume isn't a service. See: support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/137890/… for more info.

The proper way to install a Cygwin program as service is to use the cygserver
utility.



$ cygrunsrv --help
Usage: cygrunsrv [OPTION]...

Main options: Exactly one is required.

-I, --install <svc_name> Installes a new service named <svc_name>.
-R, --remove <svc_name> Removes a service named <svc_name>.
-S, --start <svc_name> Starts a service named <svc_name>.
-E, --stop <svc_name> Stops a service named <svc_name>.
-Q, --query <svc_name> Queries a service named <svc_name>.
-L, --list [server] Lists services that have been installed
with cygrunsrv.
<svc_name> can be a local service or "server/svc_name" or "serversvc_name".
....


Any other way will fail to proper execute the program.
