IIRC, there is a cygwin stub for each spawned Windows task. I don't remember if this stub translates some POSIX signals to known Windows signals -- if it does, you can specify those for cygrunsrv to use in terminating the process. If you don't care whether the process gets properly terminated on, say, system shutdown or service stop, and if the process doesn't write anything to stdout/stderr, I don't think there are other caveats here.
