Agree. > To support scripts that rely on the format and options of the old > Cygwin ps we could add a new 'Cygwin' personality to procps. Ugh. It seems to me like 'ps' has already been littered with so many incompatible or conflicting option sets over the years that perpetuating yet another into history seems like a travesty. Can't we just add support for -W to procps for WINPID and then declare that Cygwin's 'ps' option set is now the same as Linux's? After all, WJM. As far as options, the common ones (-a/-e/-l/-f/-p/-u) seem to overlap mostly; the column order and layout are of course slightly different between the two but I can't really see a portable script being able to rely on that anyway.
