I need to kill a windows procces that were started by the programm called from cygwin.
Here's what I do:
${wccoaDirNix}/bin/WCCILpmon.exe -proj ${projName} -user root: &
This process creates other windows process:
$ ps -W

How can i kill them?
I tried to kill them by the following command:
ps -W | grep "WCC" | awk '{print $1}' | xargs kill -f;
But it does not work as it should, it kills all processes in which name there are letters WCС, and I need to terminate only the child processes of WCCILpmon.exe
I also read the question on cygwinlist about same problem
And it upset me, is there no way to realize it?
As you need to kill a NOT cygwin process, it is better to use windows specific program.
One example is:
