In future that is what I will do, however in this circumstance when I started the process I didn't know I was going to want to suspend it.

The pause worked, but I couldn't get it restarted again). -- -matt -- 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/
