Hi,
The --halt 2 documentation says:
"Kill off all jobs immediately and exit without clean up."
When I look in the source, I see in Job::should_we_halt() a call to the exit
statement:
exit($job->exitstatus())
but I do not see a call that kills all the jobs.
I am confused. Does the exit() statement kill all the jobs? What code kills
off all jobs when --halt 2 is specified?
You are right: GNU Parallel just exits. It should kill the children first.
Implemented in git version.

Thank you Ole!
I should say that I am very happy about all the recent changes you have
made (I just looked at the git repo), not just for the halt feature but
for the ones I have been writing about on this list.
I have been attempting to do them myself but it is hard for me to
determine the best way, plus I was unable to determine if the "old"
behaviour should be preserved for backward compatibility. I see that you
are moving forward, which is simpler and easier.
Yesterday I wanted to unroll the kill loop in Job::kill(), but I was not
sure. Now I see that you have done just that in killall().
If there is anything I can do to help, let me know.
I will start using the git HEAD for a few experiments, and I will wait
for your next release before pushing to production.
Thank you again.
Martin
