Hello,
I thought the problem might be a bad installation so I uninstalled and
reinstalled ooREXX. The problem continued. I've been able to find out
some more details.
After failing to fix it by doing a reinstallation, I tried a third system.
While testing there, I clarified more details on the issue. They are:
1. The problem only occurs when you use the START command.
2. CTRL+C works fine when you use rexxtry:
1. And do 'cmd' to get to a command line. Once at the prompt, doing a
"dir \ /s" starts the dir command and CTRL+C works fine by ending the dir
command.
2. And do a 'dir \ /s' One dir is running the CTRL+C works fine.
NOTE: BOTH of these have the command (e.g. dir or ping) running in the
original process.
3. The CTRL+C failure occurs, though, when you use the 'start'
command to get a command line. It fails when doing:
1. Rexxtry
2. 'start'
3. In the new Command Window (new process), you do a command take
take a bit of time, such as "dir \ /s" or "ping 127.0.0.1 -t"
- NOTE: When you do the command "ping 127.0.0.1 -t" both CTRL+C and
CTRL+Break fail to stop the command.
I hope this extra inforation helps. I again tried the "/I" parameter on
the Start command (e.g. 'start /I'), but the results are the same.
Anyone have some thoughts, ideas, advice, etc. on fixing this issue? OH!
To insure valid data, could someone -- please -- attempt to reproduce the
situation. I think I reduced it to a simple set of steps. While three of
my systems are seeing this situation, I'm wondering if someone out there
(on an earlier version of ooRexx) or different version of Windows, etc,
might see different result(s).
Again, my systems:
Operating System: Windows 7 Ultimate x64 with SP 1 installed and all
corrective service through 2/26/2015.
ooRexx Version: REXX-ooRexx_4.2.0(MT)_64-bit 6.04 22 Feb 2014
Hardware: Dell Precision T7500; Dual Intel X5650 (24 cores); 48GB RAM //
Dell Precision 390 Intel Q6700 (4 cores), 8 GB RAM // Dell Precision 390
Intel Q6700, 8 GB RAM.
The DIFFERENCE between the two Dell Precision 390 is the second one (3rd
system) doesn't have apps the other systems use (e.g. Firefox, Password
Plus, MS-Office, iTunes, VLC, etc.)
Regards and I hope someone will have a lead on fixing this situation,
Bertram Moshier
