 Hi!

 Just tried it too:

 bash exits cleanly, but the console-window stays open.
 (Tried
  bash> knews &
  <Ctrl-D>

  -> "ps" doesnt show the bash any longer,
     "knews" PPID get set to "1")


 Question:
 How to disconnect from controlling terminal under cygwin?
 There seems no ioctl defined to do that. (looked for some weeks ago).

 Maybe the console-window goes away, if a small wrapper is used, that
 disconnects from controlling tty and closes all io-channels to the
 terminal (stdin,stdout,stderr), then exec()s the real app.

 Is that possible?

 Bjoern
