Hmm, process remains.

$ kill -f 876
bash: kill: f: invalid signal specification

mikael@ditt-9624b96a3d ~/jobb/example_programs/simple_iterator
$ kill --force 876
bash: kill: -force: invalid signal specification

mikael@ditt-9624b96a3d ~/jobb/example_programs/simple_iterator
$ kill -v
bash: kill: v: invalid signal specification

mikael@ditt-9624b96a3d ~/jobb/example_programs/simple_iterator
$ kill --version
bash: kill: -version: invalid signal specification

mikael@ditt-9624b96a3d ~/jobb/example_programs/simple_iterator
$ whereis kill
kill: /bin/kill.exe /usr/bin/kill.exe /usr/share/man/man1/kill.1.gz

What am I doing wrong? (cygcheck.out attached)
