From: neil_schemenauer AT transcanada DOT com (Neil Schemenauer) Subject: Bash exits after background command exits (B20) 5 Nov 1998 13:44:32 -0800 Message-ID: <3640B2BB.B75A5AF5.cygnus.gnu-win32@transcanada.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: gnu-win32 AT cygnus DOT com For some reason bash is getting a EOF after a background command exits. To keep bash open IGNOREEOF can be set to 1. This prints "Use "exit" to leave the shell." after every background command exits. Annoying. Also, Control-C seems to still kill background tasks. Setting CYGWIN=tty does not seem to help. Finally, bash doesn't exit if there are background tasks running. Help!
