If all you want is to make sure the app is running on the machine (i.e., you don't actually need to see the screens on your pocketpc), install the sshd service using the "-i" cygrunsrv flag (which *will* open an extra console window for sshd, but that can't be helped), and then you should be able to use "setsid progname" or even "cygstart progname" from your ssh session.

In order to get the service to start reliably I had to switch the service to run as a particular user (chown wasn't working for some reason, couldn't change ownership of files necessary to get ssh service working, so changed service to run as owner of files (me.) So, if you think that running as local system with interact with desktop will work then I need to go back to the drawing board and get that working. Thanks Mark Stuhr Director of Inf. Tech.
