Re: PS and AWK Linux Commands on Cygwin

[Scott Geiger <scott_geiger at yahoo dot com>]

Thanks, this was helpful.  When I use -W I get one process that contains the uppercase value that I entered through the grep command but not the lowercase processes.

Is there a parameter to ignore case?

I have a fresh installation of Cygwin and /usr/bin/awk is a link to /usr/bin/gawk - FYI

Cygwin ps allows for a -W command-line argument which tells it to include all windows processes.
There are other arguments like -l for "long" mode, -f for "full" mode, etc.
