I note that on Cygwin:

  pgrep -f /bin/bash

finds some but not all of my running bash processes.

  pgrep -a bash

finds all of them.

I leave it to others to explain why /usr/bin/bash doesn't work.

I note that on (Debian) Linux the results of the above alternatives
_also_ differ, but that pgrep -f /usr/bin/bash and pgrep -f /bin/bash
both work and give the same results.
