Greetings folks. I have been fed-up with the default GUI shell on Cygwin, being used to the great Terminal that comes with Mac OS X. Some googling around uncovered that I should try "rxvt". My experience with rxvt is pretty good, after reading online some basic configuration tips. But unfortunately I've come across a deal-breaker and I'm not sure exactly what the culprit is. If I run a java program from rxvt and control-C it (i.e. SIGINT) then it seems to kill -9 it instead of letting the program catch the signal to terminate. I found a quickie Java code sample online that anyone can quickly compile and try for themselves: http://waelchatila.com/2006/01/13/1137143896635.html save to CtrlC.java then type "javac CtrlC" then "java -cp . CtrlC" and then hit ctrl-c. It works properly in Cygwin's default GUI shell but not rxvt.
I *did* try searching the lists but didn't really find a resolution. ~ David Smiley -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/rxvt-ctrl-c-killing-process-tp27221260p27221260.html Sent from the Cygwin list mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
