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?
