I'm not advocating to use these from pre-remove scripts. What is the problem you are trying to solve? While you can run setup with active Cygwin processes if you really know what you're doing, the long-standing instructiosn are that you shiould shut down all running Cygwin processes before running it. As for my own installers, I can assume pkill to be available as long as the Cygwin installation is still existing, since these are installed with all installation option.
