Only if the application allows it, i.e. has a mode that does not need to interact with the window manager, something like "run in the background". Also if the app runs in a text output only mode, non-graphical. You could try "app &" instead of "cygstart app", but if the app is graphical it will try to open a window which will fail. And on a different subject, ssh doesn't run as SYSTEM, the daemon sshd does but if you did set privilege separation the remote ssh runs as the user that logged in. -- René Berber -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
