hello
after an update of a few cygwin components, i have now the problem that
some scripts that use 'kill -9' or 'kill -INT' don't work any more. they
produce the following output:
Usage: kill [-f] [-signal] [-s signal] pid1 [pid2 ...]
kill -l [signal]
Send signals to processes
-f, --force force, using win32 interface if necessary
-l, --list print a list of signal names
-s, --signal send signal (use kill --list for a list)
-h, --help output usage information and exit
-v, --version output version information and exit
the same output appears when i execute a '/bin/kill' command. but when i
execute simply 'kill' (without the leading /bin/) the result is different
and looks like this:
kill: usage: kill [-s sigspec | -n signum | -sigspec] [pid | job]... or kill -l
[sigspec]
if i change the appropriate line in a script to 'kill -s 9' instead of
'kill -9' it works. but i can't change all the scripts. what could be the
reason for this behaviour after the few updates i did? why does 'kill' not
produces the same output as '/bin/kill'? i wondered if there were two
versions of kill in different paths, but i only found one of them....
thank for ideas and help
