They do not :-( ok, tracking this down to jam more, i find this: how jam exec's the cmds is to create a temp batch file with the cmds in it, and then on windows, it on windows, it does a spawnvp(P_NOWAIT, ...) on the "cmd.exe /Q/S temp.bat" messing around with this to make it a simpler test, I find this: % cat foo.bat echo foo sleep 1 now, under a cmd.exe window, i get: % ./foo.bat C:\>echo foo foo C:\>sleep 1 % under xterm, i get the same output, but also i get a cmd.exe window popup with a title of 'sleep 1'. is there a way to see which pkgs I updated last night? then i can try to isolate the pkg that broke the xterm. -- _________________ danny AT ishiboo DOT com -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
