How do I shut down Cygwin cleanly?

I can find no recent discussion of how to cleanly shut down Cygwin - by this I mean shutting down all Cygwin processes, but not the Windows operating system (in my case XP). Not cleanly shutting down Cygwin processes tends to invoke Windows error messages on starting up Cygwin (I use the X startup

Bash doesn't launch the applications directly.

Hi, all I noticed that when bash launches a program, for example win32 notepad.exe or cygwin sleep, it in fact launches another bash which launches the final program, # sleep 10 -> running process: bash (start here) bash sleep 10 This slows down the launching procedure. Any

I have another difference between 0.3.4 and 0.3.3 of minTTY and rxvt. If you have a long-running script running, any attemps to stop it with either Control-C or Control-\ does nothing. Seems that minTTY is starting the child process with SIGINT signals disabled. At the prompt, Control-C is r
