There are only two options you can pass to cron. 1) -D (got the meaning
wrong the last time; Means don't fork) and 2) -x which is a debugging option
which prints out, well, debugging info ;-)

> And what is the use of the option -a?

When I referred to the `-a' option I was talking about cygrunsrv. The `-a'
option  takes the arguments you wish to pass to the executable, cron.exe,
and when the service is started it is started with those arguments. For
example, taken from cron.README:

  $ cygrunsrv -I cron -p /usr/sbin/cron -a -D
