[Win32utils-devel] SIGINT in win32-process

[win32utils-devel at rubyforge.org]

Hi all,

I banged my head all day trying to make SIGINT work like you would expect on 
Win32, to no avail.  The goal is to allow the user to send a SIGINT (i.e. 
CTRL_C_EVENT) to a remote process.  I tried a CreateRemoteThread() + 
GenerateConsoleCtrlEvent() approach with no luck.  I also found this bit of 
code:

http://www.mit.edu/afs/athena.mit.edu/contrib/xemacs/src/xemacs-21.4.4/src/process-nt.c

But, I can't seem to make it, or my own attempts, work.  For further 
clarification, here is what I'm trying to accomplish.  Start this program on 
one console:

# test.rb
trap("SIGINT"){
   puts "Got signal"
   exit
}

puts "PID: " + Process.pid.to_s

while 1
   puts "Hello"
   sleep 3
end

Then, from another console, try to send Process.kill(2,pid) using 
win32-process.  You will need to modify process_kill() in process.c slightly 
to make sure case 2 is the ctrl_c handler.

Is what I'm trying to do even possible?  Help wanted.

Regards,

Dan
