I am trying to run a bash script periodically ( eg from cron or Windows task
scheduler ) which needs to kill any existing instances of a background process
then restart it. Unfortunately the scheduled script only seems to be able to see
processes that were created in the context it is running from and not any other
(cygwin) processes, background or foreground. This is occurring on Windows XP
pro 32 bit.
