Whoops. That's two errors in this thread. This should have been the Windows PID of cat. *blush*. > $ cat /proc/registry/HKEY_PERFOMANCE_DATA/@ > > /bin/kill -f doesn't work.

See <http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2004-07/msg00496.html>. The fhandler_registry::fill_filebuf function just gets into a tight infinite loop with no chance for signal handling. > next attempt: (still no killall script? then it would be simply killall cat) > > $ /bin/kill -9 -f 1748 > couldn't open pid 1748 > > but here cat and the parent bash windows are killed. Huh? What's 1748? Did you mean 1432? Also, you either supply -9 or -f (-9 sends Cygwin SIGKILL, -f uses TerminateProcess). Sorry for the confusion. Hope we'll get this sorted out eventually.
