"CYGWIN=wincmdln" does not give me nuts

"CYGWIN=wincmdln" does not give me nuts

[Пётр Б.]

I was frustrated by not being able to view CMD of Cygwin processes in
Windows tools. After a bit of research I found the talk about the
wincmdln option and saw it mentioned in changelog.

However, setting it did not take any effect even after reboot,

Windows 7 SP1 Prof x64, Cygwin 1.7.32.0274 x86_64.

Am I doing it wrong?

I am not. I see the argv[0] in ProcExp64 - executable name - and nothing more.

Could not reproduce.

Testcase:

$ uname -srvm
CYGWIN_NT-6.1 1.7.32(0.274/5/3) 2014-08-13 23:06 x86_64

$ export CYGWIN=wincmdln

$ bash -c "bash -c 'echo \$CYGWIN; sleep 1000'"
wincmdln

Command lines of 'inner' bash and sleep are visible in Task-Manager, 
Process Explorer and Process Hacker 2.

I can give more information but I just do not know what else to say.
Everything else except CYGWIN variable is unchanged since
installation.

However, after assuming that developers are smarter than I am, i found it.

In XP I would have zero problems, but I was using Seven! I created a
per-user variable "CYGWIN" thinking that it will be visible to all
programs.

But operating system thinks otherwise - per-user variables only affect
programs launched under his account.

Programs with elevated priveleges happen to not count because they are
launched with "SYSTEM" account.

You should have asked me about whether "CYGWIN" is visible in the
output of "set" command - it wasn't.


Making CYGWIN a system variable worked as it should.
