"Cannot respond to"? When a system-generated message that requests that
applications quit in preparation for the systme to shut down or the user
to log off why can Cygwin apps (in particular bash or other shell)
simply do what it would have done if TMOUT was just triggered?
TMOUT If set to a value greater than zero, TMOUT is treated
as the
default timeout for the read builtin. The select command
termi-
nates if input does not arrive after TMOUT seconds when
input is
coming from a terminal. In an interactive shell, the
value is
interpreted as the number of seconds to wait for input
after
issuing the primary prompt. Bash terminates after
waiting for
that number of seconds if input does not arrive.
