No dice, unfortunately; I tried this and it had no effect. Checking with "stty -a" showed that swtch=undef already, and susp=^Z as you'd expect.
Note it's not the *suspend* that's acting up -- I know lots of folks have had trouble getting ^Z to work properly, but there's no problem with that here. It's the "fg" and "bg" commands which fail to properly restart the process. (fg doesn't actually hook up the terminal; bg seems to successfully background scripts but then gives a "core dump" error and loses track of the job.) -Ali Dat Head wrote: > apparently I had the same/similar problem, try what i did in bash profile: > > stty swtch undef # default is ^z (screws up using ^z for bg [aka susp]) -- Although this may seem a paradox, all exact science is dominated by the idea of approximation. -Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
