If I use control-c or kill to kill the rsync process, the entire computer slows to a crawl. However if I kill the ssh spawned by rsync, the whole things exits gracefully without slowing down the whole machine. Does anyone know what could be happening here? I am trying to write some code, using either alarm and signals, or AT, to force a rsync to quit if it takes too long. I get the same kind of results whether I do the killing programmatically from within the signal handler, or from the command line in an other cygwin window. Any input on what could be going on would be great. Its a weird problem, the sort of thing I'de think shouldn't be happening. -- Joseph Annino Consulting - Perl, PHP, MySQL, Oracle, etc. jannino AT jannino DOT com - http://www.jannino.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/
