Re: /bin/shutdown on ME

One solution I tried, consequently, is making shutdown into a window
(WinMain) application, using the run program as a template. No luck so
far. I can post the code I currently have, in case others have further
insights.

If you run shutdown from a bash session in one of the old versions of
rxvt (the ones that were compiled as a GUI app) it works fine on Win98.
Personally I have two version of rxvt on my machine, the regular console
compiled one (-Wl,--subsystem,console) and one that is compiled as a GUI
app (-Wl,--subsystem,windows) and I rename it to rxvtw.
I do this because the way that cygwin interacts console programs tends
to lock up my machine every once in a while. Though I blame the Trident
9750 video driver since I get pretty patterns on the screen when it
locks up.
