For the others, I use a normal console window and switch between it and windows applications continually throughout the day with no problems; you may have a configuration problem in Windows, but someone else on the list is likely to be able to help more after you give more details.

Re: sysvinit for cygwin?
Ariel, If you system crashes, you should rectify that problem one way or another. BASH implements the suspend command, so you might be able to work with that. Recent email on this list (Subject: GNU screen package ??) in this list suggests that this program (screen, i.e.: http://www.gnu.org/software/screen/screen.html) might work for you and can be compiled to operate under cygwin with little or no work.

sysvinit for cygwin?
Hi.. is there a 'sysvinit' package for cygwin? I'm only interested in being able to switch consoles using alt-f1 to 6, I understand the program 'init' is the one that manages that.
