Ive been using cygwin for a few weeks now, its great & so darn usefull,
however I have one query.

I run 98SE, use rxvt for a terminal. When I close the shell & tell
windows to re-boot it frequently refuses saying a program will not shut
down. There are no programms running. If I ctrl-alt-del, one or more
occurances of bash are running, when & only when I terminate these will
98SE reboot.

It does not seem to matter if I "exit" bash or click on "x" close
window, the same result.

Any ideas

Dave,


It is a known problem that if you close rxvt using the "x" button, the
shell running in it won't get the HUP signal and will keep running.
However, IIRC, using "exit" explicitly should kill the shell.

Many thanks for the heads up ...
Dave
