The cygpid to winpid and vice versa functions are available in perl 5.8.7 and perl 5.9.2; see: http://search.cpan.org/dist/perl/README.cygwin#Prebuilt_methods%3A I had thought Gerrit would release a new 5.8.6 with them, but this doesn't seem to have happened; don't know if I somehow dropped the ball on that. In any case, I'm really really hoping that 5.8.7 is released in the next few weeks. I don't know anything about problems with Proc::ProcessTable other than what may have been mentioned in that thread. Perhaps you'd like to look into it further? > Hi Christopher - > your response to Jurgen had mentioned: > > ActiveState perl is a windows program.

"This should be possible" meaning what? You indeed can't send cygwin signals (which AIUIkill -9 is not) to windows programs. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
