How can I do that? As an alternative to Igor's suggestions, if you're willing interject a different shutdown scheme into your process, you can always create an alias or a script that does the above and then calls Cygwin's 'shutdown' in the flavor of your choice to do what you're looking for. 'shutdown' is available in it's own Cygwin package. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc. (508) 893-9779 - RFK Office 216 Dalton Rd.
