remotely executing windows applications

[elfyn mcbratney]

Hi,

Whats happening here is that you started an win-app from a cygwin shell. The 
point of winvnc.exe is to run an capture the users gdi/gui which could not 
happen as you were in a console session. What you would need to do for this 
to work is have the winvnc service installed/running and use cygrunsrv to 
stop/start as you with.
