This is a hack. If the linux kernel started setting pgids to 0, you would fix the linux kernel. You wouldn't fix 'ps'. If ps is assuming that a pgid == 0 is not a cygwin process then obviously something is screwed up somewhere. So, the fix is in cygwin1.dll not ps. cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
