That's a nice answer for a command that works, but, speaking for myself 
and a lot of other people who use cygwin for the UNIX-like utilities (like 
the OP), we shouldn't have to remember one-off command names to get the 
same functionality we're used to in *NIX.  Perhaps ps could be fixed to 
include the proper information instead if either having users languish in 
ignorance or be told to use some other command.
