Since cygwin will kill a subprocess if you hit ctrl-break manually, I've written a little utility that allows you to send ctrl-break directly to the java process from any other console on the same machine.

Note that if java is invoked directly from the shell, cygwin gets the ctrl-break and still kills java, but I usually run my java invocations from a makefile target, which somehow allows this to work.

e.g.

test:
        if  /bin/true; then java -cp . MyClass; fi


make test

Then, from some other console:

./cbreak

Hopefully someone else will find this of use. The process walking code was taken from some gnarly MS example; I'm sure there's got to be a better way. This probably only works on XP and later (haven't tried it elsewhere, but some of the system calls used are marked XP+ only).
