I tried typing the following in a bash session but it didnt execute the exit statement when I closed the window. $ myclosefn() { > exit > } $ trap myclosefn SIGHUP I guess Im hoping to find something I can put in my profile or bashrc that will behave as above to automagically perform the "exit" and save the history. -- __________________________________________________________ Sign-up for your own FREE Personalized E-mail at Mail.com http://www.mail.com/?sr=signup Save up to $160 by signing up for NetZero Platinum Internet service. http://www.netzero.net/?refcd=N2P0602NEP8 -- 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/
