Its a real pain when I try and log out or shutdown, as windows can't seem to forcibly terminate the tasks (because they are spawned by a SYSTEM task - the cron daemon - I suppose) and so just sits there for 30 minutes to an hour trying to shutdown or log off. I can't even ctrl-alt-del to bring up the task manager because I presume windows has gone into some internal system time-out loop of some kind. --------------------------------- Q-Games, Dylan Cuthbert. http://www.q-games.com -- 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/
