CTRL-C not working in sh login mode?

CTRL-C not working in sh login mode?

[Benjamin Cao]

Hi,

We invoke a shell using a *.bat file doing sh --login.

We have discovered that when wanting to kill a long running process with CTRL-C, it does not work.

Is this expected behavior?

I've found that to be the same even if I am doing bash --login -i in my *.bat file.

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Ben Cao

Hi,

Just wanted to provide some additional information to make things a bit clearer.

Running either "sh -login" or "bash --login -I" from a *.bat file will cause some commands to not be broken with CTRL-C.

For example, this test loop cannot be broken with CTRL-C when I start Cygwin up from the *.bat file.

echo foo | perl -e 'while(1) {sleep 60;}'

Or if I do "cat <file_name> | more", CTRL-C does not work in that case.

Again, is that expected behavior?

Thanks,
Ben Cao
