Thanks a lot cgf. Checked the latest snaphshot. ps -W still shows the same process (with same PID) twice, while ps aux shows it only once. Here, please look at process 5952: $ ps -W | grep httpd | sed -e 's/ \+/ /g' 5952 5844 5952 3096 pty0 1000 11:00:55 /home/gmf/wamp/bin/apache/Apache2.4.4/bin/httpd 5952 5844 5952 3096 pty0 1000 11:00:55 /home/gmf/wamp/bin/apache/Apache2.4.4/bin/httpd 7240 0 0 7240 ? 0 11:00:56 C:\cygwin\home\gmf\wamp\bin\apache\Apache2.4.4\bin\httpd.exe But 'ps aux' shows PID 5952 only once: $ ps aux | grep httpd | sed -e 's/ \+/ /g' 5952 5844 5952 3096 pty0 1000 11:00:55 /home/gmf/wamp/bin/apache/Apache2.4.4/bin/httpd I'm using the latest snapshot as indicated here: 3138k 2014/02/13 C:\cygwin\bin\cygwin1.dll - os=4.0 img=1.0 sys=4.0 "cygwin1.dll" v0.0 ts=2014-02-13 14:07 Cygwin DLL version info: DLL version: 1.7.29 DLL epoch: 19 DLL old termios: 5 DLL malloc env: 28 Cygwin conv: 181 API major: 0 API minor: 271 Shared data: 5 DLL identifier: cygwin1 Mount registry: 3 Cygwin registry name: Cygwin Program options name: Program Options Installations name: Installations Cygdrive default prefix: Build date: Snapshot date: 20140213-14:06:26 Shared id: cygwin1S5 Thanks!
