How to destroy cygwin X server

How to destroy cygwin X server

[l.wood]

In cygwin X window, type:

cd /
ls */*/*


xinit: connection to X server lost

waiting for X server to shut down winClipboardProc - winClipboardFlushWindowsMessageQueue trapped WM_QUIT message, exiting main loop.
winClipboardProc - XDestroyWindow succeeded.
winClipboardIOErrorHandler!
winMultiWindowXMsgProcIOErrorHandler!
winInitMultiWindowXMsgProc - Caught IO Error.  Exiting.
winDeinitMultiWindowWM - Noting shutdown in progress
(EE) Server terminated successfully (0). Closing log file.

I somehow feel this should be handled... more elegantly.

for what I can see the xterm crash, not the Xserver

and I will bet when you are looking on /proc/*/*

Heh. What an interesting bug.

However, it doesn't seem to be an X server bug.  Typing the same commands into
a mintty causes that to exit as well.

What is happening here is that the X server has been started with xinit or
startx, and the command is typed into the initial xterm.  When that exits, the
X server is shut down to.

Wrong guess :)
'ls proc/*/*' doesn't seem to reproduce it, but 'ls dev/*/*' does.

yeah, ls proc/*/* just freeze ls on my xterm

Looks like a bash problem.  I can reproduce this only in bash,
but not in dash or tcsh.

Btw., I was referring to the /dev/*/* crash, I can not reproduce a
hang for /proc/*/*.

As far as the /dev/*/* crash is concerned, it should be fixed in CVS.
