root@hostxp ~
$ cygrunsrv -I forward -p /usr/bin/ssh -a "-v -f -2 -N -L 5729:localhost:5729 user@myhost.tld" -u root -w password
$ cygrunsrv -S forward
cygrunsrv: Error starting a service: StartService:  Win32 error 1069:
Der Dienst konnte wegen einer fehlerhaften Anmeldung nicht gestartet werden.

which means in english:
The service could not be started because of an incorrect registration.
But I'm sure. Username and password are correct.

Nothing will be written in /var/log/forward.log.

Thanks
Matthias
