Actually putc() wasn't working, it was the fopen/fclose on /dev/null to deliver the signal. Anyway, I found a better workaround, calling sleep(0) does the job. If you could tell me why a putc('.') doesn't work and a sleep(0) works, it'd be nice :-) -- Alex Dupre -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
