Since taskkill is a Windows app and not a Cygwin one, there is no benefit to fiddling with LD_LIBRARY_PATH, even if Cygwin apps would otherwise be affected by it (they won't be). I find the terminology of the error you see to particularly interesting, since it doesn't look like your standard Windows error report and certainly doesn't match the format I see when I force taskkill to error out. But that's a MS issue/oddity that's better addressed in a Windows forum. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc. (508) 893-9779 - RFK Office 216 Dalton Rd.
