I've noticed a strange behavior of the standard Cygwin Terminal (mintty): If I open a Cygwin Terminal (using the shortcut on the desktop installed by Cygwin setup) and just press Ctrl-D, it writes "logout" and closes the window as expected.
If I do the same, but give one command "ssh<enter>" first, the word "logout" appear, the window goes black, but the window does not close (!) The window can still be closed using the "X" in upper right corner. If I replace the command with "ssh -V<enter>", the window closes as expected when I press Ctrl-D. This may seem like a minor thing, but we have much trouble with Jenkins builds (started via Cygwin OpenSSH) which randomly hang forever - I wonder if this could be a clue in this investigation. Tested versions: Windows Server 2008 R2 OpenSSH_7.3p1, OpenSSL 1.0.2j 26 Sep 2016 mintty 2.7.0 (i686-pc-cygwin) and Windows 10 OpenSSH_7.6p1, OpenSSL 1.0.2m 2 Nov 2017 mintty 2.8.1 (i686-pc-cygwin) Only commented lines appear in /etc/ssh_config , ~/.bashrc and ~/.bash_profile on both systems. I would be glad if (some of) you could repeat this test on your system - perhaps this behavior is due to some local problem on my systems.
