I have been a cygwin user since 2005. I have found it has saved me on a windows system. I am an Oracle DBA, and working on *Nix has been my thing until companies stopped providing workstations. So cygwin has been it.
My last update of cygwin was in 2014, so I am quite behind in updates. I pushed this out to over 300 systems I manage (all windows now). I built an automated install, and it does what I want. More recently startring with Win server 2016 , and now 2019 when using X I get a CMD window accompanying it that doesn't close. And with being outdated, it was time to upgrade. I also wanted iconv. So I decide to build a fresh install, for the latest as of 3 weeks ago (3/2/2020). Most everything is fine, but when using sqlplus either in an xterm or in mintty my control U (KILL) does not get fired off in sqlplus. This always worked in the past. I have played with stty for days it seems, and cannot get sqlplus to kill the current line. I have taken the approach of building a new test box, and installing the old version of 2014 cygwin release. It does work with sqlplus. I then tried upgrading but not all pieces, but now it's back to Kill not working. I have set -o vi, set raw... I'm still at a loss for how to get it to pass through. It works in my shell (btw mksh), not bash. I think with the new cygwin, maybe there is some protection between apps going on, that was not in place back in 2014. but that is just a guess, not from any knowledge. Does anyone have the same problem, or have a solution. I don't expect other editor commands to work, but this one command is so useful, in clearing out a garbage line. -- Sent from: http://cygwin.1069669.n5.nabble.com/Cygwin-list-f3.html -- Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: https://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
