Actually, let me clarify without being flip. Yes, if you send a "kill -9" to a pid that shows up in ps but is associated with a non-cygwin process, it should work. Other non-terminating signals will not work, and a blockable terminating signal like SIGTERM won't work. If you try to send any kind of signal to the windows pid, it won't work. I'm sorry that I wasn't entirely clear in my original reply. -- Christopher Faylor spammer? -> [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cygwin Co-Project Leader [EMAIL PROTECTED] TimeSys, Inc. -- 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/
