I also just tested a workaround using the bash builtin command "exec".
I put the following lines at the beginning of my script :

if [[ ! "$EXEC" ]]
then
    export EXEC=1
    exec -a myscript /bin/bash "$0" "$@"
fi

Then, on a common UNIX / Linux system, "ps -ef" gives something like this :
bobby     20326 20318  0 10:21 ?        00:00:00 myscript ./myscript.sh
marty     20330 20342  0 10:23 ?        00:00:00 myscript ./myscript.sh
dudul     20339 20363  0 10:25 ?        00:00:00 myscript ./myscript.sh
Perfect.

But on Cygwin, it still gives this :
bobby     20326 20318  0 10:21 ?        00:00:00 /usr/bin/bash
marty     20330 20342  0 10:23 ?        00:00:00 /usr/bin/bash
dudul     20339 20363  0 10:25 ?        00:00:00 /usr/bin/bash

I would have liked to see "myscript" instead of "/usr/bin/bash"...

Could ps command be corrected / improved to display "myscript" and/or command 
line arguments ?

Or perhaps there is another solution ?

Thank you very much,

Best regards,

Ben
