Cutting down PATH didn't help: C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>path PATH=C:\WINDOWS\system32\wbem;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\cygwin\u sr\X11R6 \bin;C:\cygwin\bin;C:\cygwin\usr\local\bin
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>start C:\cygwin\cygwin.bat ...still produced the hang. Performing the rebase procedure did not appear to have any change, either. I think that it's odd that once this problem began to occur, it has persisted across clean reinstalls or different versions, reboots, etc. Is there anything else that I could need to clean out between installs other than what is covered in the FAQ (http://cygwin.com/faq/faq-nochunks.html#faq.setup.uninstall-all)? -Sam PS Dave, sorry for sending you this reply directly instead of the list. I didn't police Outlook sufficiently to keep it from doing stupid things with the address. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dave Korn Sent: Thursday, March 13, 2008 11:30 AM To: Cygwin@cygwin.com Subject: RE: Cannot start bash prompts: processes intermittently don't die Popper, Samuel (US SSA) wrote on 13 March 2008 15:05: > I'm running into a problem with a previously-working installation of > cygwin on Windows 2003 server.

Second, have you been through the rebaseall[*] procedure yet? cheers, DaveK [*] - Install the rebase package using setup.exe, read the readme in /usr/share/doc/Cygwin, stop all cygwin servers and services and exit all cygwin shells and applications, finally run rebaseall in ash launched from a DOS prompt. -- Can't think of a witty .sigline today.... -- 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/ -- 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/
