Hello,

My problem:

I have to send a signal to a running cywin application, but I can not use the cygwin API for this purpose.
This signal (e.g. SIGHUP) can be cought by my cywin application, the application can react on it in a proper way.

Until now I found only documentation that states that the cygwin signals rely on windows events but no documentation on how to use this mechanism.

Is there a 'translation' from windows events into signals ?
Is there a way to use then Win32 "BroadcastSystemMessage()" function to send a Signal to cygwin application ?

Thank you all
