Date: Tue, 3 Feb 2004 16:05:11 +0100 Message-ID: X-MS-Has-Attach: X-MS-TNEF-Correlator: From: =?iso-8859-1?Q?Lutz_H=F6rl?= To: Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit X-MIME-Autoconverted: from quoted-printable to 8bit by delorie.com id i13F5fhZ003406 Hello, My problem: I have to send a signal to a running cywin application, but I can not use the cygwin API for this purpose. This signal (e.g. SIGHUP) can be cought by my cywin application, the application can react on it in a proper way. Until now I found only documentation that states that the cygwin signals rely on windows events but no documentation on how to use this mechanism. Is there a 'translation' from windows events into signals ? Is there a way to use then Win32 "BroadcastSystemMessage()" function to send a Signal to cygwin application ?
