Yes, it does.

Been there... :-)

No, unfortunately not. The issue is not that ^C doesn't do anything, it is 
that it does interrupt the script, but it appears to leave what ever the 
script ran in the background.  Doing some experimenting, I found the 
following to demonstrate the problem:

foo.sh:

	#!/bin/bash

	/cygwin/c/Program\ Files/mozilla.org/Mozilla/mozilla/exe

foo.cmd:

	"c:\Program Files\mozilla.org\Mozilla\mozilla.exe"

When running foo.sh, a ^C will terminate mozilla and return the command 
prompt.  When running foo.cmd, ^C will return the command prompt, but leave 
mozilla running.

This is easy to deal with in terms of mozilla - I can just go exit mozilla. 
But with things like WLS, killing the java processes is a PITA.

Any ideas?  Thanks....

/greg
