Hi,
I have noticed a (new?) problem with using ssh-agent to start a session, eg.
with
ssh-agent xterm &
When the xterm (or whatever) command completes, the ssh-agent process is
still left running in the background. It should stop once its subprocess is
done.
As a simple test example, consider:
/bin/ssh-agent /bin/sleep 10
While the sleep is still running, ps shows:
PID PPID PGID WINPID TTY UID STIME COMMAND
1694 1693 1694 1576 ? 22534 00:01:10
/usr/bin/ssh-agent
1653 1 1653 11740 cons1 22534 00:00:37
/usr/bin/bash
1693 1653 1693 1552 cons1 22534 00:01:10
/usr/bin/sleep
[...]
Once the sleep finishes, ps shows:
PID PPID PGID WINPID TTY UID STIME COMMAND
1694 1693 1694 1576 ? 22534 00:01:10
/usr/bin/ssh-agent
1653 1 1653 11740 cons1 22534 00:00:37
/usr/bin/bash
ie. ssh-agent is still running, though its PPID no longer exists.
I pushed a patch and created new developer snapshots. Please test the
latest from https://cygwin.com/snapshots/
Hi Corinna,
That fixes the problem! With cygwin1-20191103.dll.xz installed as
/usr/bin/cygwin1.dll, all my ssh-agent processes exit properly.
Thanks,
Corinna
Thanks for the excellent fix,
Tim.
