Suppose that the command "ps" shows that an application, has a PID 1234 then
kill -9 1234 kills the application but also the bash (3.0-2), i.e. closes the windows in which bash is running (for example the dos box or xterm). In some cases, in $HOME there is bash.exe.stackdump. After these things I have reinstalled Bash 2.05b-17 with which that command kills only the application and not bash (so that one can continue to work without restarting bash). The system is W2K SP4. I have almost all Cygwin packages installed (only gcc-test-suite, ghosthscript native, regex, xwinclip are not installed) Currently I am usin the snapshot 20050624 (after 20050621), but as I wrote even with Cygwin 1.5.16-1, 1.5.17-1 bash 3.0-2 is killed. The Cygwin configuration is quite simple (what setup configures after installing) Best regards angelo.
