That uname call is in there specifically to check if you're running from cygwin and force a pidfile to be written for stop-server.bat if so; ctrl+c functionality in mintty is inconsistent with its signal trapping across both cygwin and Windows releases.
I wrote the PowerShell start-up scripts with the expectation that they would be called from the .bat files so please give it a shot running the batch files from a command-prompt or mintty terminal (or whatever your terminal of choice is). I'll look into what's broken when running directly from PowerShell as this may be a more common use-case than I realized. Along with that - are you running a 32-bit JVM or 64-bit here? Xms3072M -Xmx3072M -Xmn768M would lead to that kind of failure on a 32-bit JVM, though CASSANDRA-7353 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-7353> should have resolved that potential problem. Might be related to the environment in PowerShell rather than a command-prompt as well. On Mon, Jun 30, 2014 at 5:11 AM, Lars Schouw <schou...@yahoo.com> wrote: > How do I start cassandra on Windows?
