Hi folks:
I've been tryinh to get the following code to work.  What I trying to do 
is to run a ps command 2 times (with 3 secs separation) and have the awk 
program capture the output kill all processes for a shutdown script.  
Something is hanging.  It does not run and control-C & controol-\ does 
not work.  Here is the script:
.$ cat /lbin/shutdown
#!/bin/bash
#
#       Shutdown the cygwin system
#
#       First we send SIGKILL to all process NOT in our process
#       group.  Then after a 5-second sleep, we send SIGKILL.
#
#       The last step is to kill off our process group.

# in theory, the exit should not be reached as we should have been killed
exit 0
Is this a bug in pipes??
