What setup is need to get ^Z to suspend the current process?
The CygWin manual Environment Variables section at
http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/setup-env.html says:
The CYGWIN variable is used ... [Y]ou can ... set it to tty (e.g. to support
job control with ^Z etc...) using a syntax like this in the DOS shell, before
launching bash.
C:\> set CYGWIN=tty notitle glob
I've added:
set CYGWIN=tty
to my Cygwin.bat file, but ^Z doesn't suspend a process.
(E.g., running "for (( i = 1 ; i '<' 100000 ; i = i + 1 )) ; do : ; done "
and pressing control-Z doesn't suspend the process running the loop.
Thanks,
Daniel
