Shouldn't be necessary in that case - Win32 should behave as Unix, 
otherwise it's not portable.  I've got to find a way around it but no 
idea how at the moment.  I am passing the requisite number of quotes to 
CreateProcess...

The sessionid is more unique, although not so easily parsable into 
anything sensible.

It is the PID... looks the same as the one in task manager to me.
OTOH if you cleanup on postcommand there's no problem with just using 
the pid as it can't get reused until you've finished.
