Angela is a former valued colleague of mine from Cygnus and Red Hat days, so I offered some suggestions in private email. It looks like if she changes the invocation of her .bat files from just "foo.bat" to "cmd /c call foo.bat" then an "exit /b" in foo.bat will work correctly. I'm contemplating making a change to cygwin to cause this to be the default. cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
