It is better, thanks. I didn't mean to chide you, just to alert you to
the fact that it was hard to properly reply to your message.

Please pay attention to details -- typing \usr\sbin\httpd will not even
start Apache in a bash shell; you'd need to type /usr/sbin/httpd for that
(note the forward slashes). Also, httpd with no options forks and puts
itself in the background, but, on some OSes may still be attached to the
originating console (which is what you see -- bash has exited, but the
*console window* that ran bash cannot exit because of httpd running).
Since you haven't told us what version of the OS you're trying this on, we
can't guess what the problem or the possible solutions might be.

As specified in <http://cygwin.com/problems.html>, the way to report the
version of Cygwin (along with the OS version and enough details about your
installation to try reproducing your problem) is to attach (as an
uncompressed text attachment) the output of "cygcheck -svr" to your
message.
