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.
