From: briansul AT microsoft DOT com (Brian Sullivan) Subject: GNU-Win32 BUG - Control-C terminates backgrounded jobs 17 Apr 1998 05:51:03 -0700 Sender: root AT cygnus DOT com Message-ID: To: "'gnu-win32 AT cygnus DOT com'" The behavior occurs on both Beta 19 and 19.1 The problem: Running jobs in the background, such as: bash-2.01$ emacs bugreport.txt & [1] 1004 bash-2.01$ jobs [1]+ Running emacs & $ -C [1]+ Interrupt emacs bash-2.01$ Typing Control-C interrupts both the foreground process (if there is one) as it should, but it also interrupts all of the backgrounded processes as well, like my emacs process above. This is very disturbing. Perhaps I am missing something like a nohup, but I can't think of what. Is there a way of protecting the backgrounded process from being killed when the interactive bash shell receives a control C. - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request AT cygnus DOT com" with one line of text: "help".
