There is no general "log for cygwin"; it's up to individual applications to log useful information. In this case it'd be your zsh script logging the commands it's running and/or the output it's producing. > > 2) My 'specs' are: windows 7 64 bits with cygwin64 .

Yes, Cygwin64 is stable. > From what I recall the terminal was spamming messages containing the > words "fork" , "-1" and some others which I don't recall.

You could take a look at the FAQ entry on fork failures, and see if that gets you anywhere. https://cygwin.com/faq.html#faq.using.fixing-fork-failures > I am not able to tell exactly what I did on both occasions to trigger > this behavior. Can you provide something to narrow down the search? Actually giving us the zsh script you're trying to run would be a good start!
