howto register process

[Kamen TOMOV]

Hi,

I have an application that is created to work on Unix but it is
supposed to run on Windows as well. The problem is that we have a
daemon that spawns a few children and later it needs to kill them. The
parent process is supposed to communicate with its children by signals
and to eventually terminate them. I would like to use kill(pid,
signal) to kill the processes because they rely on the signals
mechanizm. 

The problem is that kill returns "not such pid". Is there a way to
register a process in the cygwin process table so that later be able
to kill it with kill()? TIA.

Regards,
