Re: PID & WINPID

[Todd Poole <tpoole at mail dot com>]

Thanks for the start but I am little confused on something. The program 
I wish to dump is running, I check the Windows Task Manager and see the 
PID. I execute ps -W and the PID don't match which I assume is correct. 
The PID I need would come from the ps -W. If I execute ps -p myprogram I 
get a list of (3) PID and Commands see below:

$ ps -p myprogram
  PID    PPID    PGID     WINPID   TTY     UID    STIME COMMAND
  4304    3932    4304       4356  pty0    1001 12:12:23 /usr/bin/ps
  4372       1    4372       4372  ?       1001 12:07:01 /usr/bin/mintty
  3932    4372    3932       1364  pty0    1001 12:07:01 usr/bin/bash

How do I know which is the one I need. I obviously can go thru and run 
the dumper on each and to find out which is correct, I tried this and 
(2) of the (3) tell me Failed to open process error 87. On the one 
listed as /usr/bin/mintty it runs.

Thanks
