I tested this over and over. I think it's a 'nasty' bug here. #!/bin/bash ( # sleep 1 # or whatever not very quick command! set -m; sleep 10 & # or whatever command takes some time to complete set +m; pid=$! ( sleep 1; kill -- -$pid ) & wait $pid )
without sleep 1 commented you get: ./bug.sh: line 8: kill: (-760) - No such process with it uncommented it works as expected ./bug.sh: line 10: 492 Terminated sleep 10 -- 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/
