This isn't a Cygwin-specific question.  As such, discussion of it is
really off-topic for this list.

That said, the following should work (untested on Cygwin or W95):

#! /bin/bash
ps -C sshd >& /dev/null
if [ $? -eq 0 ]
then
    echo sshd running
else
    echo sshd not running
fi

It's wordy but you get the idea. ;-)
