Dear List, sometimes I have to pause the execution of the mencoder process on my cygwin hosted by an XP SP2. If I press Ctrl+S the mencoder is stopped nicely. I wanted to pause it from a script. I tried the normal UNIX way sending a SIGSTOP signal to the process (kill -STOP mencoder_PID) from an other bash window. Running "ps" I could see it had "S" status, but mencoder was still writing to stdout and the CPU usage was still nearly 100%. I even tried "kill -TSTP mencoder_PID", but the same result. I tried to google for this problem without luck. Why it behaves like this? How can I gracefully pauses a process execution from a script? I also found an other strange thing, which may be connected to this problem. Pressing ctrl+Z on mencoder I get a prompt, but mencoder still writes to the screen. I can enter any command and it is executed properly. Running "fg" mencoder becomes the foreground process and it writes to the screen (as normal). Why does not stops if ctrl+Z is pressed? Thanks in advance! TT _____________________________________________________________________ Rövid angol nyelvlecke következik.
