Does cygwin have an 'autorun' utility/package?

[Eliot Moss]

inotify is a POSIX library that would help meet the need.
It apparently has not been ported to Cygwin as a regular
package, though Windows has the necessary underlying ability.

However, this suggests that you can fairly easily build a
program to help:

It seems to build and work reasonably well.

Another angle is this Qt library (though I am not sure if it
works under Cygwin):
