send SIGHUP to child process

[domruf]

I use the following command line to start bash on windows

 mintty.exe -e console.exe bash -l 

This way I can start console applications like python in the bash/mintty window.
But it seems that when I close the mintty window the SIGHUP does not reach bash and therefore the bash history is not stored.

I think it would be nice if console.exe and winpty-agent.exe would send the SIGHUP signal to their child process when they receive one.

When I use

mintty.exe -e bash -l

the bash history works fine.
