Hello, I just discovered that 'kill' is not able to test (-0) for processes which have been started from the cygwin environment, but running as another user, in this case as a service (UID = 0).
Is this a problem stemming from the cygwin environment or is it due to Windows itself ? As a workaround, it seems only parsing the output from 'ps -Wl' could give me the desired functionality, which is testing if a certain process, of which the PID is known, is still running or not. Does anyone have maybe other ideas I might have missed ?
