Huh? Looks to me like C:\WINNT is behind C:\cygwin\bin to me! I've not changed PATH - it echoes in bash as: $ echo $PATH /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/C/WINNT/system32:/C/WINNT:/C/WINNT/System32/Wbem and, as I demonstrated, the Cygwin kill is found first. -- Cliff -- 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/
