ps -e on Unix displays “every process running on the system”. This command
doesn't do that under cygwin. Why should it be necessary to supply -W to
see all processes running on the system? This makes it incompatible with
Linux/Unix, and such scripts that rely on -e doing this will not work the
same on Cygwin. What is the point to not showing all other processes on the
system like Linux/Unix does? This is a silly design and causes headaches
and frustration for people trying to write scripts that work on cygwin and
Linux/Unix. Can this be changed please?
FWIW I just alias: ps='ps -W'
works fine
