TITLE :Breaking Out of GREP May Return You to Command Prompt
PRODUCT :Windows NT
PROD/VER:3.10
OPER/SYS:WINDOWS
KEYWORDS:buglist 3.10
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT Resource Kit
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
If you run GREP--"Global Regular Expression Print," a POSIX-based tool
included in the Windows NT Resource Kit--using the command line
parameter ô/ö (or the more commonly attempted ô/?ö for help on the
GREP command), the cursor is placed on the next screen line without a
prompt (GREP is waiting for input from you). If you then attempt
breaking out of the GREP command by using CTRL+C, you are returned to
the command prompt, but when you attempt to close the command prompt
window (such as when you type 'exit' and then press ENTER at the
command prompt), the command prompt window does not close and you are
unable to close the window using any other means (such as by choosing
End Task from the Task List, choosing Terminate from the Settings menu
in the Control Box, or choosing Logoff or Shutdown).
Windows NT is unable to log off or shut down because this window is
open, resulting in the need to manually reset the computer if you want
to log off or shut down.
RESOLUTION
==========
For help on the GREP command, use the command line parameter -H
instead of /?. Also, when you attempt to break out of GREP, use
CTRL+Z, instead of CTRL + C. This allows GREP to close normally and
will not result in the application locking up.
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in GREP.EXE from the
Windows NT Resource Kit. We are researching this problem and will post
new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes
available.
