Thanks for the explanation. It clarified me. So now i tried again and
all works well. It was just my misunderstanding.
Also i tried to do so on Windows XP. With prebuilt John 1.7.0.1 i did
not get a status but i got "fgets: permission denied" when i ran second
John to view status (when i stop first John and view status all works
good).
With prebuilt John 1.7.7 built against cygwin by Robert B. Harris i got
status but also i got a problem that if i ran it from cmd then cygwin's
kill did not find John's process else if i ran John from cygwin's prompt
then it said that there are two cygwin dlls and did not start John. I
guess that if i fix dll problem and run John in cygwin environment then
John could receive SIGHUP as on real unix. I think that cygwin provides
signals support without any changes in the code. However it seems not ok
to build all Johns for Windows against cygwin and to use SIGHUP
everywhere.
