[MEncoder-users] stop/restart mencoder

Dear "गिरगिट",

Unfortunately it does not work under cygwin! :-( Neither mplayer, neither mencoder!

I tried 

cat file.avi|mencoder...

and I sent a STOP signal to cat, and this did work! If I send this signal to
mencoder it continue running. Likewise ctrl+Z don't stop the running process. :-(
It work for vim, but it does not work for mencoder. :-(((

THX && Good byte!

TT
