Re: rxvt: Ctrl+C leaves child process of native processes

Cygwin has no way of knowing what the children of non-cygwin subprocesses are. So, as you've found, if you don't use a Cygwin program, you won't get linux-like signal results. This shouldn't be *too* surprising.

The best way to avoid such surprises is NOT to use .BAT files in your app stack. As long as you have all cygwin processes in the process tree (it's OK for the leaf processes to not be cygwin, though), the ^Cs should get passed down as expected.
