Except this has nothing to do with linux - this is unix behaviour that goes "all the way back", it's part of the process model. It's part of what exiting *does*, so it *is* a bug in cygwin if it isn't doing the cleanup (and really, cygwin does so many other bizarre things under the covers to create Unix/POSIX semantics in the Very Different win32 environment, I'm more than a little surprised it isn't doing this already... skeptical, even, though I haven't been deep inside cygwin in years.) -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
