The processes have different names. I saw elsewhere that using 'set -m' , we can do this, but I don't know the exact mechanism.

If the processes all have the same name, you can use
killall [NAME]

Subject: kill a group of processes
Hi,
I start a bash script which spawns many parallel,
background processess some of which again spawn other
procs. How can i kill all of these processes? Do I
have to do a recursive kill based on the pid and ppid
of each process? Is there something like a group
process id killing which will kill all the processes?
Thanks in adv.
Siva.
