Not a direct answer to your question, but I've come across plenty of issues that prevented reliable termination of external processes (along with their children). Eventually I came to this solution, it's been thoroughly tested in production:
func KillProcess(proc *os.Process) https://github.com/HouzuoGuo/laitos/blob/master/platform/sys_unix.go#L111 And similar for Windows: func KillProcess(proc *os.Process) https://github.com/HouzuoGuo/laitos/blob/master/platform/sys_windows.go#L100 On Friday, 10 July 2020 02:14:33 UTC+3, Ian Gudger wrote: > > I am using Go 1.14 AMD64 on Linux 5.3.0. > > When I create a subprocess with exec.Cmd.Start, I can't seem to fully kill > it with exec.Cmd.Process.Kill, or at least not to the satisfaction > of exec.Cmd.Wait. > > I am doing something along the lines of: > cmd := exec.Command(binPath) > if err := cmd.Start(); err != nil { > ... > } > if err := cmd.Process.Kill(); err != nil { > ... > } > if err := cmd.Wait(); err != nil { > ... > } > > However, this hangs on Wait.
