Hi,

I am just wondering if anyone understands why XWin detaches/runs in
the background, when launched from Windows Command Prompt.

Hi Shaddy,
Only a guess

But here's what happens when I run that first command line from
Windows Command Prompt. No output and the command returns, though the
server is running (including with an icon tray clickable):

| C:\Users\shaddy>C:\PublicData\sw.portapps\cygwin.x86_64\bin\XWin :1 -nolisten tcp -ac -multiwindow
|
| C:\Users\shaddy>

Is this special detection and handling in the main() (or whatever
entrypoint is applicable)?

I assume you still have the log on /var/log/xwin/XWin.0.log
but it is not anymore duplicated on the terminal


Regards,
Shaddy
