ghidraRun.bat CTRL+d message

[867315310]

After starting the software once, close it and restart it. ghidraRun.bat prompts "..., you can use CTRL+d to close this terminal, or press Enter to restart". However, in reality, CTRL+d cannot close the terminal, and Enter cannot restart it. In any case, the terminal does not respond and can only end the task using the task manager.

In reality, ghidra doesn't show that message.

Note that the issue only occurs during the second startup of the software after the calculation is started. (And it is best to restart the software immediately after closing it)

Alternatively, this issue may only occur during the second run after downloading the software.

I am not about to reproduce the failed start up. Can you run support/ghidraDebug.bat instead, and post the error message?

This bug seems to have no relation to the specific circumstances under which it is run. It appears to randomly occur only once after a re-download.

[ryanmkurtz]

Seems like you are launching from a shortcut. What is the behavior if you launch directly from the batch file?

[867315310]

The same situation will occur

[867315310]

And this shortcut is to run ghidraRun.bat.

[ryanmkurtz]

I fear I cannot reproduce this...it's surely something about your system configuration that I do not have. If you are up to it, you could add some debugging to support/launch.bat starting at line 203 to try to get some additional information printed out.

[867315310]

This is too troublesome because every time this bug is triggered, the software needs to be downloaded and installed again

[867315310]

I think we can let the main program start and check if the terminal is still running. If so, let the main program force the terminal to end.

Where are you downloading Ghidra from?
