cygwin runs three instances of rsync.exe at the same time

Sam, thanks very much!

i did search the docs for 'three', 'instance', 'multiple' and such terms but i could find anything.
this is my first time using cygwin and i am a linux newbie, so i was confused.

thanks much for taking the time to solve my concern.
