Feature request: inetd as a service on win98


I would like of great help if I were able to do this:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices]
"CygwinInetd"="c:\\cygwin\\usr\\sbin\\inetd.exe"

In other words run inetd as a true service in win98 such that I can login
and logout without affecting the inetd process.  Somewhat like the VNC
server dose.

One option perhaps would be to introduce a new command in cygwin to hide a
window based on PID with the option to also detach it from the session so
the person can log out without a dialog popping up saying you need to close
all your apps first.

If it helps to get started I have found this command line tool to hide a
window based on its title:

Thanks,
