I was (being silly and) using a shortcut I created for bash.exe rather than the start menu item. I created a new shortcut to cygnus.bat and now I'm running great with no Ctrl-C problems. Thank you all _very_ much.

Everyone else seems to get rid of the ^C problem in the way Richard suggests. I suggest you try it again. Check the value of CYGWIN in bash. Try setting it in autoexec.bat or system environment variables if you run NT. It is important to kill all cygwin applications so the cygwin.dll gets unloaded. CYGWIN is only examined the first time cygwin.dll is loaded. -----Original Message----- From: Larry Hall (RFK Partners, Inc) [mailto:lhall AT rfk DOT com] Sent: Wednesday, February 17, 1999 10:48 AM To: Dale Quigg Subject: RE: Repost: B20.1 -- Control-Cs in the bash shell no longer kill back ground tasks ??? I don't know whether Richard's suggestion will make a difference for you or not but if you don't know how the cygnus.bat file is used, its very likely (or so it seems to me) that you didn't use it when you started the new bash window. Just to check, find cygnis.bat on your system, get out of ALL bash shells that are running (and any other Cygwin app) and then start Cygnus.bat (either by clicking on it or running it from a DOS box). Try the stuff that way. If it works, you may want to move this setting into your environment (autoexec.bat on 9x, control panel on NT) so that you always see the effect no matter how you start bash. If not, no harm done!;-) Larry At 10:40 AM 2/17/99 -0800, you wrote: > >Thanks for the response Richard. > >I didn't have the line you recommended in my cygnus.bat, so I added it.
