I don't know of a way to trap the exit, but...
I would like cygwin to run a script before shutting down.
You could try adding a menu item (to the menu that appears when you
right click on the X icon) to provide your own exit method. This is
done using the $HOME/.XWinrc file.
If you don't already have a file ~/.Xwinrc, you can get a basic one
from http://www.msu.edu/~huntharo/xwin/devel/server/example.XWinrc
Place it in your $HOME directory, and rename it to .XWinrc
You could then change the root menu to something like this:
menu root {
// Comments fit here, too...
Reload .XWinrcRELOAD
Kill XWin exec my_script ; kill $PPID
Applications menuapps
SEParATOR
}
The Exit menu item will not be affected, but the new item Kill XWin
will run my_script (assuming it is in your PATH), then kill XWin.
I haven't tested how XWin responds to kill, so you may want to
experiment with changing the signal, e.g. to kill -HUP $PPID in
order to get a clean exit.
If you want to know more about the .Xwinrc file, type man XWinrc
(case is significant).
HTH,
Phil

jose isaias cabrera wrote on Monday, December 03, 2007 11:43 PM:: Just to complete this issue, I had to delete the account and recreate it. The reason why was that I previously had an SPARC sunworkstion with Gentoo on it, and I rsync-ed all of the files and directories from that server. I was running gnome on that server also, but somehow the previous settings were getting picked up by the new gnome, which was a newer version and it was kicking me out. After creating the new user with the same name I am able to login and do my work. thanks, josé I'm glad you've got it working, but just for the benefit of anyone picking up on this thread via the archives, unless you really *want* to run a Linux desktop in XWin, the advice to use XDMCP is wrong (or at least, it's not the best advice).

RE: Trapping clicks on Cygwin/X Server icon
Hi,
thanks for the info.
It seems that the PPID refers to the xterm parent and not to the XWin process,
which, apparently, cannot be killed, probably because it is a Windows process.
Never mind. I will create a menu to remove my file, in the XWin menu, and then
select Exit.
Quoting Phil Betts [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
phiroc wrote on Tuesday, December 04, 2007 2:45 PM::
is there a way to trap clicks on the Cygwin/X Server icon in the
System Tray or on the Exit Button in the dialog that appears?
I don't know of a way to trap the exit, but...
I would like cygwin to run a script before shutting down.
You could try adding a menu item (to the menu that appears when you
right click on the X icon) to provide your own exit method. This is
done using the $HOME/.XWinrc file.
If you don't already have a file ~/.Xwinrc, you can get a basic one
from http://www.msu.edu/~huntharo/xwin/devel/server/example.XWinrc
Place it in your $HOME directory, and rename it to .XWinrc
You could then change the root menu to something like this:
menu root {
// Comments fit here, too...
Reload .XWinrcRELOAD
Kill XWin exec my_script ; kill $PPID
Applications menuapps
SEParATOR
}
The Exit menu item will not be affected, but the new item Kill XWin
will run my_script (assuming it is in your PATH), then kill XWin.
I haven't tested how XWin responds to kill, so you may want to
experiment with changing the signal, e.g. to kill -HUP $PPID in
order to get a clean exit.
If you want to know more about the .Xwinrc file, type man XWinrc
(case is significant).
HTH,
Phil

X Issues
I've been running cygwin-X with much satisfaction using fvwm2 windows manager. Initially I started X windows from a regular bash terminal by typing xinit. it would read the config files from the .fvwm directory in my home dir. I did some experiemtnation with icevm and was able to install it and have with a desktop background image. Both windows managers were run with a single parent window where I would launch other child windows (xterm, etc.). I later change the way I launch X windows to this: C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe --login /usr/X11R6/bin/startxwin.sh startxwin.sh: #! /bin/sh export DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0 export PATH=/usr/X11R6/bin:$PATH export XAPPLRESDIR=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults export XCMSDB=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/Xcms.txt export XKEYSYMDB=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XKeysymDB export XNLSPATH=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale # Cleanup from last run. rm -rf /tmp/.X11-unix XWin -clipboard -silent-dup-error if [ $1 = f ]; then fvwm2 else icewm fi # Return from sh. exit I did an upgrade using the cygwin setup.exe and afterwards I only get the parent window, but no pop-up menu when I mouse click inside the window. Also it doesn't pick up any of the windows fixin's (task bar, pop up menu, etc) and it has the ugly grey background. This is the case for icewm. When using fvwm2, I do get the status bar and popup menues, but nothing happens when I select an app from the popup menu. I've spent a lot of time trying to understand what's going on and if someone could point me in the right direction, I would be very grateful. Thanks.

Re: helP: malfunction of the x window system
Thank you for the suggestion. I did not install new firewalls. The firewall was running also before when the x-server was working correctly. I suspect that the issue was generated trying to run Xming. I had some minor problem with Xfree (before the major issue I reported now) and I tried Xming to see if it was working better. Clearly I did not solve the problem since now nor Xming neither Xfree are working... for comparison I tried an evaluation version of a commercial x-server and it works. But it is not working as good as the cygwin-Xfree was working in the past. thanks again, any suggestion is very appreciated -- Initial Header --- From : [EMAIL PROTECTED] To : cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com Cc : Date : Tue, 04 Dec 2007 23:48:48 +0100 Subject : Re: helP: malfunction of the x window system [EMAIL PROTECTED] schrieb: XWin was started with teh following command line: X :0 -multiwindow -clipboard _XSERVTransSocketUNIXCreateListener: ...SocketCreateListener() failed _XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListener: failed to create listener for local Fatal server error: Cannot establish any listening sockets - Make sure an X server isn't already running I checked there were not other Xserver running...

Same solution helped (I did a chmod -R u+rw g+rw). Hmmm. I've had problems before with tetex files having no group ownership after installing as one user but running as another: http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2004-03/msg00454.html Is it possible that the same thing is happening as a result of running setup.exe as an admin user under vista but running cygwin itself as the ordinary limited user? cheers, DaveK -- Can't think of a witty .sigline today -- 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/

Re: 1.5.24 format.com hangs through ssh
Thanks for your effort Robert. I was hoping that my Cygwin environment was somehow to blame. What did you mean that formatting alone was not sufficient? I was able to read and write to the drive once the format was complete. -srp Robert Pendell wrote: srp wrote: Thanks Larry. Version Updated. 1.5.24 is correct. You WAG wrong however. Once the Volume has been formated in a native Cygwin window I can format successfully via SSH and all output is displayed.

I have a couple of Virtual Machines setup here for testing purposes and such so I setup a cygwin install on the XP one (snapshot before hand so it can revert back clean) and installed a base cygwin setup with openssh. Then I installed the server and set it up as a service. I also turned off the firewall on it (no one can access it outside of the network anyways). I did not do anything special but it has 2 virtual hard drives to it. A 1 GB one was added to the virtual machine and I created one unformatted partition that did not have any particular partition type setup. Therefore it just showed up as RAW for now. I then had to format it but I tried this via SSH. It got stuck right after the line that shows Proceed with Format (Y/N)? same as the OP. The same command worked fine once I formatted the partition locally via Disk Management. This does not appear to be a WAG (lack of tty support) issue though as this partition formats quickly (under 10 seconds) when done locally but I waited at least a minute for it to complete without success. Please note that formatting using the format command locally wasn't sufficient. It had to be done via Disk Management for some reason. Both quick formats and regular formats got stuck. Format.com is listed in the processes during this with zero activity and no disk activity is being reported by the Virtual Machine. Last but not least once it is formatted via Disk Management it works fine via a SSH session with all output coming back on the tty. My own cygcheck.out is attached here. Operating System: Windows XP SP2 (all updates installed) Cygwin Version: 1.5.24 (latest) Stock install with only openssh (+ dependencies) and nano installed Any tests you want me to do I am more than willing to.

Re: 1.5.24 format.com hangs through ssh
I meant that for some reason format.com wasn't sufficient. It was formatted but not really. Kinda hard to explain. It wasn't until I used disk management to do it that it was ok. The environment I used should be equivalent to a real machine. srp wrote: Thanks for your effort Robert. I was hoping that my Cygwin environment was somehow to blame.

Odd behaviour of __cygwin_environ?
[ Cygwin-1.5.23-2, in case it matters; I haven't yet checked if anything has
changed in this area of the code in 1.5.24/1.5.25/cvs head, but it's a fairly
long-standing area of the code so probably relatively stable. ]
I'm trying to track down a bug where a child process doesn't inherit all the
environment variables set in its parent, so I figured I'd add a bunch of
strace debugging. I wrote this routine to dump an envp[]-style pointer-array
environment block:
void dump_env (const char * const *envp, const char *banner)
{
#if 01
myfault efault;
if (efault.faulted ())
{
dk_printf (oops, fault - stop dumping!);
return;
}
int count = 0;
dk_printf(%sdump environment: %p, banner, envp);
dk_printf (attempt);
dk_printf (try to de-ref envp %p, envp);
dk_printf (de-ref envp %p, *envp);
while (*envp)
{
dk_printf (try to de-ref envp %p, envp);
dk_printf (de-ref envp %p, *envp);
dk_printf (#%p#%p#%s, envp, *envp, *envp);
++envp;
++count;
}
dk_printf (total: %d entries, count);
#endif
}
... where dk_printf() is just like system_printf() only using a spare strace
flag mask bit, and I call it from cur_environ() like so:
extern C char ** __stdcall
cur_environ ()
{
if (*main_environ != __cygwin_environ)
{
dk_printf (switch main environ %p for cygwin environ %p, *main_environ,
__cygwin_environ);
dump_env (*main_environ , main environ: );
dump_env (__cygwin_environ, cygwin environ: );
__cygwin_environ = *main_environ;
update_envptrs ();
}
return __cygwin_environ;
}
The declaration of __cygwin_environ in environ.h says:
extern char **__cygwin_environ, ***main_environ;
and most of the time this works fine; I see output such as:
