I am a Cygwin beginner too, so if this is not useful to your discussion just ignore this message: In my limited experience the PID and the WINPID are always (?) the same for Cygwin processess INITIALLY. After a HUP signal (kill -s HUP pid, my Cygwin process (if it survives) will have the SAME PID but a new WinPID. I use this fact to assure myself that I have succeeded in the HUP to get Exim and other programs to reload their configuration. -- Herb -- 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/
