sorry if this wraps.

what is my WINPID for the current bash?

"ps -W" may not be aware of the Cygwin PID for some processes. How about "/bin/ps | head -1 && /bin/ps -a | grep $$" instead?

Yes, the Cygwin PID and the WINPID are different in most cases. Doesn't the command I suggested show the right WINPID for the current bash?

if there is a -aW then no, -a yes


hmmm? why are there zeros on the PGID, and why when using -W does PID change to WINPID? BUG?
