You have a point. I cannot kill some windows in processes "directly" within the bash environment either. But this works EVERY time:
cmd /c kill --force <PID> Try it, you'll like it. p.s. It'd be nice if it worked "as advertised" ;-) I ain't demand'n nothin! Whoever you are, and no matter where life finds you - your patch will be ready before mine!

I use the "ps -W" cmd however I am not able to close windows based applications or windows expect the cygwin console itself. i have tried "kill -f" which actually brings back "bash: kill: f: invalid signal specification" & also tried "kill 9" but niether will shutdown a windows2000 application. Could I get a little with this please ? _________________________________________________________________ Protect your PC - get McAfee.com VirusScan Online http://clinic.mcafee.com/clinic/ibuy/campaign.asp?cid=3963 -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ "WellChoice, Inc." made the following annotations on 07/06/2003 08:26:08 PM ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Attention!
