Terminate batch job at logout?

Terminate batch job at logout?

[waxmop]

Hi -


I've been using cygwin for a day now, and every time I plan to exit out of
the shell, I get asked, "Terminate batch job (Y/N)?"

I'm not sure what this is referring to.

Any ideas?

This happens if you press Ctrl-C during the execution of bash.  See
<http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2001-07/msg01565.html>,
<http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2000-07/msg01192.html>, and
<http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2000-07/msg01196.html> for possible
solutions.  Be aware that at least the first one ("tty") will have other
side effects that should be carefully considered.

Re: Terminate batch job at logout?

[waxmop]

I edited my cygwin.bat file and changed this line:

    bash --login -i

to:

    start bash --login -i

And now, I don't get the 'terminate batch job' message at logout despite
my frequent use of ctrl-C.

Thanks for the help.  Should we add this to the FAQ?

its refering to the batch file that the shortcut from the cygwin install
calls.

You missed out the options of either using rxvt instead of the default
cygwin shortcut (search the archives for details) or just changing the
shortcut to be a shortcut to 
c:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe --login -i
making sure it starts in c:\cygwin\bin

(changing paths to where you have cygwin installed obviously)
