Thanks, but I tried that and got an error setting up the service ~% cygrunsrv --install fetchmail --path /usr/bin/fetchmail --args "--daemon 300 --nodetach" --env HOME=/home/user--termsig TERM --user domain\user--shutdown --type manual --interactive Enter password of user `domain\user: Reenter, please: cygrunsrv: Error installing a service: CreateService: Win32 error 87: The parameter is incorrect. I think this relates to the fact that only services logging in with the local system account can be configured to interact with the desktop...so it appears that the --user and --interactive flags are exclusive.
