This RR was mostly to address killing orphan processes or in other words, have 
a way to kill the processes that belong to a process tree root which might 
shutdown before its children. With the current killtree implementation, it 
seems to me that this would fail (the pid can't be resolved to a process and 
returns). Till mentioned that we might end up killing new processes same pids, 
which is a problem.

I am not sure how we can address both; I'll take a second stab at it tomorrow :)
