There is another, robust way to do this: Make the parent process a group leader with setpgid(0,0). Then `kill -9 -$$` will kill only the processes started from that parent (or from children, recursively). Or use setsid to create a session leader for even more robust killing (there is a setsid command available to do this within shell scripts). (You might not need this for your purpose, but I thought I would mention it in case you at some point may want to run this in Buildbot or similar). - Kristian. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~maria-developers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~maria-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
