Cygwin & kill -HUP


Hi2All,

I have the following problem: I would like to to make Exim reread 
configuration file. However W2K+Cygwin kill refuses to do the task:

Administrator@WAWMTECH10TIB /usr/local/exim
$ ps -e
      PID    PPID    PGID     WINPID  TTY  UID    STIME COMMAND
      848       1     848        848    ?   18 11:16:23 
/usr/local/bin/exim-4.04-1
     2436       1    2436       2436  con  500 11:32:31 /usr/bin/bash
I     740       1     740        740  con  500 11:41:12 /usr/bin/bash
     2864    2436    2864       1372  con  500 11:51:51 /usr/bin/ps

Administrator@WAWMTECH10TIB /usr/local/exim
$ kill -HUP 848
bash: kill: (848) - Not owner


How can I kill -HUP overriding the UID checking? 

UID 18 is System account and I started exim with cygrunsrv.

    Best regards / Z powazaniem / Mit freundlichen Gruessen
