I just noticed that /usr/bin/kill doesn't handle -N signals, where -N is a number in 1.5.4. That's due to the recent inclusion of getopt into the DLL. I fixed this recently and, if you download a recent snapshot, this particular problem would be solved. Unfortunately, you'd be trading this problem for other odd signal problems so I wouldn't recommend using a snapshot quite yet. cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
