Hi, I'm new to cygwin, and I am beginning to like it. I am having trouble
though with child processes that have only Windows PIDs and not cygwin PIDs.

When I run Xilinx bitgen from cygwin 2 processes are run both with the name
bitgen.exe. Below I am running bitgen through make.

      PID    PPID    PGID     WINPID  TTY  UID    STIME COMMAND
S    3936    2836    3936       2380    0 12696 19:54:49 /usr/bin/make
S     808    3936    3936       2852    0 12696 19:54:49
/cygdrive/c/Xilinx/10.1/ISE/bin/nt/bitgen
     2852       0       0       2852    ?    0 19:54:49
c:\Xilinx\10.1\ISE\bin\nt\bitgen.exe
      504       0       0        504    ?    0 19:54:49
c:\Xilinx\10.1\ISE\bin\nt\unwrapped\bitgen.exe

When I ctrl-c to kill bitgen after calling make I end up killing only
process 808 which is also process 2852 as 808 is the child of 3936 (make).
504 doesn't get killed, and within process explorer I see it running and it
reports it's parent as 2852 even though 2852 is gone. I thought I could kill
the process by finding it within the make file after the bitgen call and
manually killing it, but I haven't found a way to find the process. I prefer
not to use a name based kill of bitgen b/c that will kill all bitgens that
might be going on at the same time.

I am running in an xterm on XP 32 bit SP3. Here are some relevant versions:
bash 3.2.48(21)
ps 1.11
pstree 21.5
kill 1.14

thanx,
nachum
