i use this simple program in such cases.

#include <windows.h>

#define TITLESIZE 1024

int
main (int argc, char** argv)
{
  HWND console;
  char old_title [TITLESIZE];
  char new_title [TITLESIZE];
  if (!GetConsoleTitle (old_title, TITLESIZE))
    return 1;
  sprintf (new_title, "cygwin.hide.%d", GetCurrentProcessId ());
  SetConsoleTitle (new_title);
  Sleep (40);
  console = FindWindow (NULL, new_title);
  SetConsoleTitle (old_title);
  ShowWindow (console, SW_HIDE);
}

maybe we can add something like this to cygwin api? besides, cygwin
already has console handle, so title stuff won't be necessary.

ttyfier is designed to run interactive applications. if you want to
run, say, 'net start some_service', which creates new console in case
it's not available, it's fine. but if you'll run it with redirected
output, e.g 'tfy net start some_service >> service.log', you won't see
in service.log what you should normally expect.
