Description
When Suricata is started under windows ... it would not accept Ctrl+c/z/x to terminate - I
would have to do that from the win Task Manager, kill the suricata
process from there - then it stops. Where as before a normal Ctrl+c was
enough to stop Suri.
It works fine for me. How can you reproduce it?
It does not seem to work on 7 and 2008 64 bit.
However I would have to confirm(recheck) it on XP and 2003.
Don't bother with XP and 2003 for now if you can reproduce the issue on 7.
I have 7 here, and it works fine for me. What exact steps do you take to reproduce the issue?
run CMD "as Administrator" - start suricata - "ctl+C"/Z/Q/whichever - does not stop it for me
What are the exact steps? Commandline, config, etc?
Compile (or install from the auto installer), regular/default config/compile.
Press "Windows key"+"R" ->
type "cmd" ->
it will appear on the small opened window ->
Right click it -> "Run as Administrator" ->
after the CMD windows is open go to the directory and start suricata the regular way ->
"suricata -c suricata.yaml -i 192.168.1.71" ->
starts and runs fine -> press "Ctl+C" it does not stop it for me.
This was a bug in cygwin, see: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-announce/2012-04/msg00016.html
Upgrading cygwin solves it.
