cygcheck is a Windows program so you can run it from a cmd.exe prompt.

You'll just have to make sure you use the full path or go to your
cygwin\bin directory first.
Thanks Jason, it wasn't clear that cygcheck was a Windows program, although it makes perfect sense (if Cygwin isn't working then it's not likely that you'd be able to execute a program from within it).
