Run it from Cygwin's bash prompt.  Then you are sure you will find it in
the path if it's installed.  If it's not installed, you can't have installed
any services, unless you've subsequently uninstalled 'cygrunsrv'.  I think
you would have remembered that though. ;-)  If not and you need to know
that someone hasn't sneaked a service in there on you, install 'cygrunsrv'
and perform the listing.
