ctrl-c in rxvt

ctrl-c in rxvt

[Patrick Peralta]

Hello list,

I installed Cygwin a few days ago on Windows XP along with rxvt
2.7.10.  It works great except for ctrl-c when trying to break
out of certain programs (such as ping).  It works under the
regular DOS-window bash but it is ignored under rxvt.  This also
happens if I sssh into the box.  Am I missing a configuration
somewhere?

Thanks,
Patrick

Native windows apps could have a problem with CTRL-C.  Cygwin apps
work fine.  There is no workaround for this.

Using ctrl-c with ping, however, worked fine (for me, anyway) on 1.3.x. I just
noticed this a couple of days ago with 1.5.3 when I ran a 'ping -t' command
then couldn't stop it. No change with the 9/10 snapshot. Was I just lucky
before?

Since there are just two or three developers in cygwin, and no one else
seems willing to pitch in to debug problems like this, I suppose that luck
is as good an explanation as any.

We can't get decent bug reports without begging, so, just feel lucky
that the system works at all.

The offer is very much appreciated but I think I have fixed this.  It was
quite a difficult problem to track down, too...

Maybe next time.

Yes, this appears to be fixed in the current CVS files :-)

Thank you

Many thanks. Did the fix make it into last night's snapshot?

Never mind. I just tried it and it seems to work great. Thanks again.

By looking at the ChangeLog link for that snapshot, I'd say it did.  Use
the source, Luke :).

Boy, I hate it when someone steals my chance to be mean...  :-)

Re: ctrl-c in rxvt

[Patrick Peralta]

I just tried the snapshot and it works for me too...

Unfortunately, I can't ctrl-c out of my java processes with
rxvt, even though it works with the bash batch file.  I assume
that there isn't a workaround for this (besides to use cygwin in
the DOS shell).

Windows based programs (ping, notepad, etc) work fine however. 
Thanks for the fix!
