Well I just noticed that the other line in ps (with different win pid and cygwin pid) displays the actual cygwin pid (992) that when passed to my program gave the expected result from 1.3. This means that kill(992, 0) returns -1 for not running process and != -1 for running process. Since mysql saves the win pid (5900) in its pid file and ps somehow finds out the corresponding cygwin pid (992) (the line with no '?') I thought that there's some method to retrieve it and keep my program's past behaviour with minimal change. -- 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/
