On shutdown

Hello, I would like to delete files when the Cygwin Server is shut down. Is there a way in cygwin to trap the shutdown event? (Ctrl-Alt-Backspace or clicking on the Cygwin Exit Button). Many thanks. phiroc -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports:

Ok, more info The cron tasks are running as normal when I try to log off, its just that windows can't forcibly terminate them when it tries to close everything and has to sit there waiting for the cron jobs to finish (can be up to 30 minutes for backing up a lot of changes). The pre-20th Septembe

Hi there, Since upgrading to the latest version of cygwin (20th Sept version?) I've had a couple of problems - one has been resolved by Pierre (the admin group filemapping problem). However, Pierre thinks the other problem I'm having isn't related to that and he suggested posting i
