It depends on what you're running. If you've just started a Cygwin shell or shells, exiting them is enough. If you have a Cygwin service or services running, then you must stop them (with 'cygrunsrv --stop' or 'net stop'). If you have X running, you must exit X (typically through the menu on the X taskbar item). If you have a combination of these running, then you must do some combination of them. This will return you to a state where cygwin1.dll is not loaded anymore, which is the same process state relative to Cygwin as you were before you started any of them. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
