DESCRIPTION
The `ps` program gives the status of all the Cygwin processes running on the system (`ps` stands for process status). Due to the limitations of simulating a POSIX environment under Windows, there is little information to give. The `PID` column is the process ID you need to give to the `kill` command (see `kill`). The `WINPID` column is the process ID that displays for NT’s Task Manager program.
