When a process is created, it may happen that it is created twice in the process list. For example, type the following command : ps -W | less You may sometimes (not always) get such a result : PID PPID PGID WINPID TTY UID STIME COMMAND 1372 1 1372 1372 con 1001 12:23:38 /usr/bin/bash 1232 1372 1064 1232 con 1001 12:24:05 /usr/bin/less 1064 1372 1064 972 con 1001 12:24:05 /usr/bin/ps 1340 0 0 1340 ? 0 12:24:05 *** unknown *** The Windows Task Manager gives the following information : - bash.exe is Windows process 1372 - less.exe is Windows process 1340 - ps.exe has already died So there are two slots for 'less.exe' in the process list, one with 1340 as WINPID but no Cygwin process information, the other with 1232 as WINPID and all the information. The OS used is Windows 2000; the Cygwin version used are 1.3.3-2 as well as snapshot 20011005 (the one where the previous process creation bug was solved).
