I'm working on a cygwin problem and have been looking at the Win32 process tree structure using Process Explorer from Sysinternals:
http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/freeware/procexp.shtml
I'd like help understanding why Process Explorer shows cygwin child processes as orphans, but win32 child processes as children.
How is this so?
For example, if I start bash, then start cmd /c dir, I will see:
bash bash cmd /c dir
My reading of the code is that the 2nd bash is the fork-stub that is waiting for cmd to complete.
Now, if I start sleep 30, I will see:
bash sleep 30
