Is there a way to do that in 'pure Cygwin'? The Windows sequence would be: CreateProcess(NULL, cmd, NULL, NULL, FALSE, 0, NULL, NULL, &si, &pi); ... PostThreadMessage(pi.dwThreadId, WM_QUIT, 0, 0); //or whatever ... 'spawn' returns the 'pid' of the new process. Is that always equal to pi.dwProcessId? Is there a way to get from this 'pid' to sending messages to the main thread? Is there a place where pi.dwThreadId is saved? (global structure, etc.) Thanks, Greg -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
