Subject: Race condition hangs on multiple mintty/tcsh? Brad Wetmore
Date: Mon, 3 Aug 2020 22:13:10 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <BYAPR07MB59428411CD00101EF02400B4B64D0@BYAPR07MB5942.namprd07.prod.outlook.com> (raw)

Hi,

I generally kick off multiple (10) mintty sessions, and place them around the screen.

C:/cygwin64/bin/mintty.exe -i /Cygwin-Terminal.ico \
--position @3 --position 120,0 --size 80x71 /bin/tcsh &
C:/cygwin64/bin/mintty.exe -i /Cygwin-Terminal.ico \
--position @3 --position 715,0 --size 80x45 /bin/tcsh &
C:/cygwin64/bin/mintty.exe -i /Cygwin-Terminal.ico \
--position @3 --position 715,660 --size 80x24 /bin/tcsh &

Within the last 6 months or so, about 2-3 of them would hang and either mintty/tcsh would not start. I put a "sleep 1" in between each invocation and that seemed to take care of it.

With the latest cygwin update, about 8 of them just hang even with the sleep 1. I put in a "sleep 2", and now everything is coming up again.

Not sure if this is a mintty or tcsh issue, but just wondering if others are seeing this before I start trying to debug this.

Thanks,

Brad
