Hi, I just installed cygwin and I just installed oracle 10g on my Windows XP computer. If I run sqlplus to connect to oracle 10G through a tns connection then when I want to exit I have to type "quit<enter>" 6 times in a row and then it will exit sqlplus. Oddly if I run sqlplus and do not go through the listener I can exit sqlplus with one "quit<enter>" statement as should happen. I cannot reproduce this in the DOS shell. Well actually if I open a DOS "cmd" shell and then execute bash from within DOS and then connect to oracle 10g via sqlplus through the tns listener it will also take 6 "quits" to exit sqlplus. Oh and if I start an rxvt bash shell, then type "cmd" to enter a DOS shell then go into sqlplus via the listener I can exit with just one quit. Bash/ash/pdksh/zsh all take 6 "quits" or "exits" to get out of sqlplus. On my older computer I had Oracle 9i and an older version of Cygwin and did not have this problem. I don't know if this is a cygwin or oracle issue. Any ideas?
Again, this only happens if I connect via the TNS Listener meaning that I'm using the "@XE" at the end of the connect string. Here's a sample (in DOS this only takes one "quit" to exit sqlplus): ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ $ sqlplus user/[EMAIL PROTECTED] SQL*Plus: Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production on Fri Feb 16 21:42:10 2007 Copyright (c) 1982, 2005, Oracle.
