I had a hung process within an hour (processes run every 5 minutes). I'm going to try applying Anthony Heading's patch, which was posted earlier this morning (Subject: PATCH/RFC: Another stab at the Cygwin hang problem) to see if it works for me. I've got nothing to lose at this point! I had been questioning the wisdom of the whole kill/signal usage, myself, but I'm certainly not experienced enough at this point to have a worthy opinion in such matters... There's almost certainly a reason it was done that way. jpt -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
