Ctrl-D often does not successfully exit rxvt and close it down
Both before and after the recent cygwin1.dll update I have had occasional instances where Ctrl-D fails to close down an rxvt terminal window and I am left with the terminal window showing $ exit and not shutting down. I have been unable to discern any common thread or activity preceding this class of failure (usually I would look for evidence of some heavy use of find or similar) and it sometimes occurs when shutting down after very little / very light activity. The solution is to Ctrl-Alt-Del into Task Manager and shut the rxvt terminal window down from there. The incidence of failures is today about 80%. Anybody else? Attached: cygcheck.out. Incidentally I experienced the shutdown difficulty after just 3 lines: cygcheck -srv cygcheck.out bzip2 cygcheck.out ls -al and actually later after just a one-line activity: cat .bash_history Thank you, Fergus cygcheck.out.bz2 Description: Binary data -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
Re: Ctrl-D often does not successfully exit rxvt and close it down
Anybody else? Same here. I am even ruling out any interference with programs I launch from the terminal. Last time I noticed, even running a couple of Perforce commands made it impossible to shut the terminal on exit. Also, during long ant builds I notice that the build would pause. My pressing Enter 2-3 times would cause the build continue. The pause may occur 2-3 times per build. -- -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
