Hmm. I have a Windows 'scheduled job'. It runs a zsh.exe script. It runs cygwin GNU make. Things that launch under there get hung with 'critical error' dialogs. Even when I add an extra layer of program that calls SetErrorMode and then CreateProcess outside the shell script.
The most frequent offenders are Java programs, but I can't find any evidence that the Sun JVM calls SetErrorMode. -----Original Message----- From: Larry Hall [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, March 21, 2004 9:56 PM To: Benson Margulies; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: SetErrorMode At 12:52 PM 3/21/2004, you wrote: >I'm trying to run some builds under cygwin with SetErrorMode set to >avoid Windows dialog boxes in the event of hard errors.

You're a little short on details here but to answer your question, the code for the Cygwin DLL only makes one call to SetErrorMode() for SEM_FAILCRITICALERRORS.
