I can't articulate how nice it is to be freed of cmd.exe! ----------------------------------------------- I am running Cygwin in the following environment: Windows 7 SP1 64-bit Cygwin Setup 2.763; apps fully updated I have installed windump (http://www.winpcap.org/windump/) and tshark which is part of the WireShark package (http://www.wireshark.org/download.html) both of which leverage WinPCAP libraries (http://www.winpcap.org/). When I run tshark or windump in a cmd.exe window (e.g. "tshark -i1 -n") I see immediate output of network traffic seen by my network interface and continues to stream live network traffic information. When I run either program in Cygwin Terminal, there is about a 20 second delay before I see any output. At which time it immediately dumps the previous 20 seconds of "queued up" output and hangs again for 15-20 seconds, followed by another dump of "queued up" output, etc... Is there some way I can have Cygwin Terminal stream the data like cmd.exe does?
