Re: ps does not show all the processes ?
Gael, % ps --help Usage: ps [-aefls] [-u UID] -a, --all show processes of all users -e, --everyone show processes of all users -f, --full show process uids, ppids -h, --help output usage information and exit -l, --long show process uids, ppids, pgids, winpids -s, --summary show process summary -u, --user list processes owned by UID -v, --version output version information and exit -W, --windows show windows as well as cygwin processes With no options, ps outputs the long format by default On my system, "ps -aeW" (at the moment) shows 56 running processes. About the biggest flaw I can see, and it's very minor, is that the "System Idle Process" is shown in "ps" output as "*** unknown ***". Also, I don't think of using the available options, including "--help" (not to mention "man ps" or "info ps" or "pinfo ps") are in the category of "work-arounds." You might want to investigate "procps". My favorite thing about it is its ability show the actual command line of running processes. (Cygwin ones, anyway. And really, what else matters?)

The intentional behaviour is that Cygwin processes show, and native Windows ones do not. If your Cygwin processes are not all shown, that's a bug. BUT: native processes launched from a Cygwin process are still native. They will not be shown, and that is intentional. That is not a bug.

ps does not show all the processes ?
Hi, I've noticed that ps -aux does not show all the processes that we can see with Task Manager. I can imagine that we cannot see some completely native processes, but it is also the case for some processes launched via cygwin ! Is there a reason for that behaviour ? Is there a workaround ? I'm on W2k, Cygwin 1.3.17. Here are some precisions about my situation: A few days ago, I posted about the /bin/rm -rf problem with locked files that makes the rm take 100% of the CPU. As far as I can see, things are happening like: - a first process works in a directory - I loose the contact with that process (mostly because something was wrong), but it is still alive - a second process (second execution of my tool) tries to remove the directory with /bin/rm -rf and goes into an infinite loop, taking 100% of CPU - I can't even kill the first process as I cannot see it with ps ! Note: I use to connect to the machine with sshd, so I cannot launch Task Manager... I have replaced all my rm -rf with chmod -Rf +w and rm -r, but it does not fix my problem as I can no more work on the same directory: it is locked :-( Hints are welcome...
