The problem is that we have a daemon that spawns a few children and later it needs to kill them. The parent process is supposed to communicate with its children by signals and to eventually terminate them. I would like to use kill(pid, signal) to kill the processes because they rely on the signals mechanizm. The problem is that kill returns "not such pid". Is there a way to register a process in the cygwin process table so that later be able to kill it with kill()? TIA.
