Re: closing SSH session leaves a zombie bash process


On 1/30/07, Patrick Herbst wrote:
i just noticed this today after i updated my base cygwin yesterday.
if i use putty to establish a ssh session and just hit the X to close
(instead of typing 'exit'), the server leaves a copy of bash running
till i go in an manually end process.

i've tried reinstalling everything and still have the same problem

i'm using the base install with only openssh added.

i dont think i had this problem before i updated yesterday.

can anyone duplicate this?  and does anyone have any idea about what
could fix it?

thanks,
patrick

See if this helps: http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2006-12/msg00261.html


I know the referenced message is rxvt + bash specific, but it should
give you some things to look for in putty + ssh + bash.

http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2005-12/msg00209.html seems less relevant.

A search of the archives for zombie bash or zombie ssh gives tons of pointers.

Basically, don't hit the X, type in 'exit'.
