PS -W option - why?

ps -e on Unix returns all processes running on the system. This command doesn't do that under cygwin. Why should it be necessary to supply -W to see all processes running on the system? This makes it incompatible with Linux/Unix, and such scripts that rely on -e doing this will not work the same

Can you add the -p option? All flavors of Unix these days allows you to specify which PID to ps. -Don __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com -- Unsubscribe info: http://cy

suggestions for cygwin developers

When Cygwin gets set up, it would be more user-friendly if it placed two icons on the desktop: one should start maximized Rxvt; another should start X with a couple of xterms or whatever. First-time users might think that the MS-DOS terminal is as good as it gets, and this is not good for Cygwin. O

RE: ps -p

That's not good enough for scripting. First of all, the command is not so simple (you have to grep -v grep also - so that the same script works on Unix systems) and if you have small PID number like 14, that will likely return lots of other processes (like 114, etc). Also, the same appears in th
