Look, use whatever you want, I don't really care. If you like cygwin's ssh, wonderful! I don't. Putty provides me the flexibility I need to access many ssh features on a regular basis for the things that I do, and is 3 clicks away from downloading/running on any system I use that it's never touched before. cygwin ssh doesn't, and isn't. cygwin ssh works great for you and gives you consistency accross many systems and fits the requirements that you have for an ssh client. Different strokes, different folks. My intent on answering you was to show you that there are other options out there. Because a person chooses to use putty or cygwin ssh doesn't really matter. My question at the end, "Why NOT use it?" was rhetorical to show that it's silly to expect that any one program is going to be perfect for every single user, as was implied by your question "Why use putty instead of ssh?" The takeaway is that if bash isn't handling a SIGHUP properly (As Paul-Kenji pointed out), then that is an issue that can't be ignored by saying "just use cygwin ssh". -- 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/
