ps -e on Unix displays =93every process running on the system=94.=A0 This c=
ommand
doesn't do that under cygwin.=A0 Why should it be necessary to supply -W to
see all processes running on the system?=A0 This makes it incompatible with
Linux/Unix, and such scripts that rely on -e doing this will not work the
same on Cygwin.=A0 What is the point to not showing all other processes on =
the
system like Linux/Unix does?=A0 This is a silly design and causes headaches
and frustration for people trying to write scripts that work on cygwin and
Linux/Unix. Can this be changed please?

-Don
