Mintty does not close after "exit" command

Mintty does not close after "exit" command

[Dani Moncayo]

Hi,

subject line says it all.

I've been experiencing this problem for some months, on windows 10.
But the problem does not appear in another windows 8.1 system I use.

To reproduce the problem, just open the standard cygwin terminal (e.g.
by double-clicking the desktop icon), an then type the "exit" command
in the bash shell.

I see a "logout" message for a fraction of a second, then the terminal
becomes empty (without text), but the mintty window remains visible
but unresponsive, with the title bar showing "~ (Not Responding)".

Anything suspicious in logout script?
One known cause if it could be reproduced fairly easy with ssh to a remote
host. Once ssh session ends, MinTTY will stick after exit, until you press
Enter.

I don't think so.  Until now, I didn't even know about such a script
(I guess it's "/etc/bash.bash_logout").

Thanks anyway.

I've seen this happen several times in the past few days.
This may be related to the fact that I'm installing cygwin a lot these days.
It may happen after installing a package that doesn't require to close
any open cygwin terminal.
Usually I close everything by default but since I'm installing a lot
lately I sometimes skip it if it's not required (e.g. installing a php
extension).

Maybe you have some cygwin service running in the background (you can
check it with: cygrunsrv -L).
Regardless, maybe a full rebase could help.
