If Dr. Zell cannot solve this problem, I doubt that anything I might
say would be of any use, especially since I have never been faced
with this problem. But here goes.
Does `cygstart run fetchmail' do what you want? (See `man run'.)
(Note that run has a `-wait' option. This might be useful to the
person [in another recent thread] who wanted cygstart to have a
`--wait' option.)
Again, I apologize if this was so much wasted bandwidth.
