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.

Peter
