Hi everyone,
I'm experiencing a strange issue where ps does not find all the processes
if it's run from a top level junction to the main cygwin directory in cmd :
On an older windows install I had cygwin under c:\cygwin64 , this time I
used chocolatey to install it and it put it under c:\tools\cygwin. To keep
things consistent so as not to break users I decided to make a junction :
Directory of C:\
01/04/2018 03:01 PM <JUNCTION> cygwin64 [c:\tools\cygwin]
running ps from cygwin works fine :
$ ps -p 6376
PID PPID PGID WINPID TTY UID STIME COMMAND
6376 1 6376 5464 pty2 197608 23:52:31
/cygdrive/c/Windows/system32/cmd
however running it from the junctioned top level directory does not work :
C:\>c:\cygwin64\bin\ps -p 6376
c:\cygwin64\bin\ps -p 6376
PID PPID PGID WINPID TTY UID STIME COMMAND
but when launched via the actual path it works properly :
C:\>c:\tools\cygwin\bin\ps -p 6376
c:\tools\cygwin\bin\ps -p 6376
PID PPID PGID WINPID TTY UID STIME COMMAND
6376 1 6376 5464 pty2 197608 23:52:31
/cygdrive/c/Windows/system32/cmd
any ideas what's causing this?
Thanks,
Sabuj

I have no idea how did you do it, but I'm unable to see Windows processes like
that without -W.
[]$ ps -p 7636
PID PPID PGID WINPID TTY UID STIME COMMAND
[]$ ps -Wp 7636
PID PPID PGID WINPID TTY UID STIME COMMAND
7636 0 0 7636 ? 0 15:47:38 C:\Program Files\Opera\opera.exe

I'm sshd in. It's like :
cygwin sshd
|_ bash
|_ cmd
so ps -p works, it's just that it doesn't work properly unless i use the
actual path to ps from inside cmd which is weird.
