This I cannot check the pid of the initiating process as it's 'AuthorizationExecuteWithPrivileges' which has launched this process and given it extra privileges somehow, as the below path to the tool is passed in via the 'cmd' argument, so it's the direct tool which being launches not something else ?
That sentence doesn't make much sense. It's also run-on, which does not improve its clarity.
You can check the pid and pgid of the initiating process: it's the process where you call AuthorizationExecuteWithPrivileges(). That's the initiation point. What happens after that is where things run into trouble.
AFAICT, you haven't said what tool you're running as a privileged process. If it's something you wrote, then you simply add code to log its getppid() and getpgid() values. If it's not something you wrote, then you should test your expectations and assumptions by writing a small tool that only logs its getppid() and getpgid() values, and run that from AEWP instead of the tool you're using now.
