Ctrl-c Not stopping Tomcat using Git Bash

Question

As the title says, I'm running Tomcat on Git Bash using Windows 7 and I am unable to close the server using Ctrl-c. When I press it, the cursor disappears for half a second but other than that nothing happens at all.

EDIT: Running git bash in VSCode's integrated terminal allows me to use ctrl-c normally.

EDIT 2: After updating to 2.18 at certain times during the build I can stop it with ctrl-c, However not after the server has started up. ctrl-c works properly at all time when I'm using git bash in VSCode's integrated terminal.

SOLUTION: I was using the git-bash in the git folder and if I just switch to bash located in the bin everything works fine. This is why VSCode was working (I had it set up to use that one)

Answer 1

that was also happen to me for some time

Ctrl-C not killing the process or stop asking for input in GitBash

then I realize I was pressing Ctrl-C like I always pressed but

In GitBash

it takes more time to kill the process

So, Press Ctrl-C for 1 or 1.5 or even 2 seconds

that worked in my case

I am hoping that will work for you too

for your information.

My Current Version is: Git 2.16

UPDATE

It also can happen for not updating the version

I just updated it and it working fine

My Current Version is: Git 2.18

Answer 2

I had the same problem git-bash could not stop maven with ctrl-c.

After checking the shortcut in the start menu it was clear that the link to C:\Program Files\Git\git-bash.exe was used.

After switching to C:\Program Files\Git\bin\sh.exe, maven could be stopped with ctrl-c without any problems.
