Hi list, I have one question regarding the POE::Wheel::Run kill method, according to the cpan.org page this method delivers signal to the child process. We are using the POE::Wheel::Run to spawn child which then spawns another childs in the chain. We also are using sort of watchdog timer which sends SIGKILL signal to the child if it takes too long to accomplish its task to take it down.
The problem is that if we kill the child which has spawn other childs and if we send SIGKILL signal to this child then the spawned childs are reaped by init and are there outside of our controll. It would be very convenient to have also method to send the signal to the process group id to take down all the processes within the same process group. Regards, Jorge Sanchez
