Screen is /not/ off-topic because it is the solution to your problem. If you are asking for a solution where you cannot use screen because it is not installed or because you forgot to run it before starting a shell then you should say so.
Ok then, I want a solution where I cannot use screen because it is not installed or because I forgot to run it before starting a shell.
There. Now will I get some help?
Let's assume you could not run or forgot to run screen: a quick Google search for "cygwin bash ssh zombie sessions" leads to the conclusion that you're not the first one who noticed that.
I attempted to Google the problem before I ever posted to this list. Evidently didn't have the right words. But even after reading the results of above, I still dont know...
Is this a known problem for which there is a fix? Is this a known problem that no-one can fix? Is this a known problem that no-one is willing to fix?
Well, probably you should use screen.
I'm glad I have you to tell me what I should do. I feel so loved. Michael -- 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/
