Hi,
Is it possible, using some cygwin functionality, to tell Windows to
execute a command at shutdown? For instance, I would like to have:
ipconfig.exe /release
executed everytime I shutdown Windows, since I need that to avoid
problems with my cable provider when using dual-boot. How can I do that?
One thing that comes to mind is a program that invokes the command you
want on SIGHUP, installed as a service with cygrunsrv that will terminate
at shutdown, with HUP as the termination signal. Beware, though, that
services have a certain period of time in which to stop, after which the
service process will be terminated by Windows.
If I were you, I'd look into using the Windows hooks for this, instead.
HTH,
Igor
I am not able to find those Windows hooks :(
