During startup of cygwin, which took about 40 seconds, the only processes running besides bash.exe were: cmd.exe csrss.exe conhost.exe SearchProtocolHost.exe SearchIndexer.exe EXPLORER.EXE svchost.exe id.exe hostname.exe grep.exe echo.exe The first 3 only showed briefly at the start. The search and explorer exes appeared during short intervals which I guess is normal. Of the last 5, id.exe appeared the most and hostname.exe the least. I noticed that bash.exe accessed a lot of windows system files. Don't know If i am applying the correct filters though...(I used the default filter) Joćo -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
