Subject: PPID in ps -efW not accurate
To: cygwin <cygwin AT cygwin DOT com>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8"
X-IsSubscribed: yes

The information exists in Windows somewhere, but either does not seem
to be available to ps, or is not fetched by ps, and I don't know
enough to know which...

I tested with both elevated and non-elevated bash sessions, and ps
-efW shows 0 (zero) as the PPID for all Windows processes

Is there any way around this? (already searched archives, but didn't
find anything useful).
