Slow at "bettercap.exe -h"

[gvanem]

I just discovered this tool and after building it myself (using TDM-gcc), it kinda works.

But the release version have a serious issue. Even a bettercap.exe -h takes 30 sec to complete!

Using Process Explorer, I see the Msys crap stty.exe stty cbreak min 1 is blocking for a long somehow:

before returning with the help-text (seems to be waiting for bowser.sys). What is stty needed for on Windows?

The fix for this problem was to use the rock-solid Cygwin32 version of stty.exe instead (in fact I try to remove every trace of my old Msys tools).

i can't reproduce this, which terminal are you using?

[gvanem]

which terminal are you using?

You mean shell? I use JPsoftware's 4NT v5.00 (Unicode). I'm on Windows-10. Even 15 years later 4NT works fine on it.

But, ... drum-roll. The original problem of bowser.sys blocking Msys' programs has gone! Maybe the
large Window-Update (to version 1809, OS build 17763.253) had any effect after I rebooted 10 January?

no idea, but definitely not a bettrcap's issue

I agree.
