ps -e on Unix displays “every process running on the system”. This command doesn't do that under cygwin. Why should it be necessary to supply -W to see all processes running on the system? This makes it incompatible with Linux/Unix, and such scripts that rely on -e doing this will not work the same on Cygwin. What is the point to not showing all other processes on the system like Linux/Unix does? This is a silly design and causes headaches and frustration for people trying to write scripts that work on cygwin and Linux/Unix. Can this be changed please?
FWIW I just alias: ps='ps -W' works fine roger wells
