Is there any example for cygrunsrv to run a (cleanup) dash/bash script

I am unaware of any possible Windows shutdown dependency options desktop users
can access, and any service dependency would have to be an executable daemon
runnable as a Windows service under cygrunsrv.
You may be able to set up a SYSTEM scheduled task on service state change event
id 7036 if running on MS Windows servers, however it looks like this may have
been dropped on MS Windows Desktops, with other unannounced quiet changes.
If you run Cygwin services including syslog-ng and cron, with service logging to
syslog, you could intermittently check for service state changes from a cron
command and execute a script, with suitable permissions to /var/log/syslog.
I find it useful to set up services with Delayed Start and Preshutdown, and run
manual service start and stop scripts to control the situation, except on power
fails! ;^>
