How do i get the Windows PPID of a procces running out of cygwin?

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

     3964       0       0       3964  ?              0 19:27:48 C:\Siemens\Automation\WinCC_OA\3.14\bin\WCCILdatabg.exe

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:
