  <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/WD11M.png" alt="The process to be killed."></p>
  
  <p>I am running cygwin in windows xp 32 bit. </p>
  
  <p>I have tried issuing the following commands:</p>
  
  <pre><code>/bin/kill -f 4760
  /bin/kill -9 5000
  kill -9 5000
  kill 5000
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When i write /bin/kill -f 4760 i get the message, 'kill: couldn't open pid 4760'.</p>
  
  <p>When i write /bin/kill -9 5000 i get the message, 'kill: 5000: No such process'.</p>
  
  <p>I simply don't understand why this process cant be killed. 
  Since it has a WINID shouldnt it be killed by /bin/kill -f 4760?</p>
  
  <p>hope someone can help thx :)</p>
