After searching this site and various Q, it is clear that services and systemd is not available for WSL.
I need to run a program in WSL everytime I start my pc so I read this page on how to use crontab: How to run Ubuntu service on Windows (at startup)? | Super User but I got confused because the format does not tally with the format in crontab.
However this is my cron:
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
PATH=cd /usr/local/src/:cd xmr-stak-cpu:cd bin/
@reboot . sudo ./xmr-stak-cpu
I have also done this:
Run bash/cron loop on start
Create a file called linux.bat in shell:startup
Paste: C:WindowsSystem32bash.exe -c 'while [ true ]; do sudo /usr/sbin/cron -f; done'
It does not work.
How can I run a service in WSL?
Surely there must be a way that does not require me to be a Linux phd?
Or is there a way to use Windows
Because in Windows I have tried the following: using https://github.com/Microsoft/WSL/issues/612
Run: When the computer starts,
Action: Start a program,
Program: c:Windowssystem32bash.exe,
Arguments: -c "sudo /xmr-stak-cpu/bin/xmr-stak-cpu -D"
Start in: /usr/local/src/
And as you guessed, it still does not work.
Frankly I wish I could do this in WSL because it is my preferred way but I will take any way.
Please help guys.

WSL can’t run true services without additional support from and configuration of the Windows host system because it lacks an “init†daemon among other sub-systems and features that all fully fledged Linux systems have. Such differences are off topic here on Ask Ubuntu but you’re welcome to ask over on our sister site Super User.
