A process spawned by a Cygwin process will be displayed e.g. (the $ is
the bash prompt)
$ which regedit
/c/winnt/regedit
$ regedit &
[1] 1880
$ ps -a
 PID PPID PGID WINPID TTY UID STIME COMMAND
 1508 1 1508 1508 ? 18 Apr 24 /usr/bin/cygrunsrv
 1664 1508 1508 1772 ? 18 Apr 24 /usr/sbin/cron
 864 1 864 864 0 1000 04:58:43 /gnu/local/bin/ispell
 1592 1 1592 1592 1 1000 06:05:55 /usr/bin/bash
 1880 1592 1880 1880 1 1000 06:41:16 /c/winnt/regedit
 1760 1592 1760 1524 1 1000 06:41:23 /usr/bin/ps
In this example the parent process (PPID) of the Windows registry
editor (regedit) is the bash shell.
