Re: pid confusion and pstree (Attn: User's Guide maintainer)

-W means "all Windows processes".  IIRC, the "-a" is ignored when -W is
specified.
HTH,

P.S. Note to the UG maintainer: Joshua, there's a typo in the description
of "ps" on the above referenced page: "synonomous" should be "synonymous".


I did read the man page for ps, first, before posting.


I does not say that the cygwin pid will be changed to the windows pid for cygwin processes. It does indicate for windows processes the PID is the same as the WINPID and can be used in kill -f.

nor does it mention the conflict between -a and -W

from ps man page:


-a, --all show processes of all users

       -W, --windows
              show windows as well as cygwin processes


-jason
