FWIW, there's a registry key of use here:
HKEY_USERS\.Default\Control Panel\Desktop\AutoEndTasks
if this value is set to "1", then processes get hard killed during a logoff.
In other words, the "Wait, End Task, Cancel" box should never show up once
this value is set.
If you want this to work for an existing user, change
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\etc etc instead of HKEY_USERS\Control
Panel\etc etc
Cheers,
John

What's weird about this is that you don't have to do a hard kill if you
wait long enough (2 minutes??)... it will then close by itself. What is
it waiting for? It is possible that all the times that I have had this
occurrence, I have run vim...

This happens to me since day-one of using Cygwin (at least 4 years ago) so
if you see it only sometimes, you're lucky!;-) AFAIK, the reason is because
the Cywgin processes (or is it somehow just related to bash?) don't respond
to the logoff notification. I remember talk about this on the mail list
from long ago. The result was to leave things "as-is", since there was
some concern that a change would cause other problems. If you're interested,
check the mail archives and ferret around in the code a bit to see what you
can come up with. I find it a small annoyance myself but, as you can see,
I haven't let it slow me down over the years!;-)

Hi,
I have noticed that my bash window (a CMD.EXE window
running bash) sometimes won't close when I log off my
NT 4.0 SP6 workstation, causing a dialog to show up
for me to do a hard kill on the process.
This does not happen all the time. But it does happen
under certain circumstances. I haven't figured out
what these circumstances are yet. But I have a
feeling that running vim or NTEmacs would cause it to
happen, but I'm not sure.
