Again I can use OS dependent functionality to retrieve the processIDs of the children, but how to convert these processIDs to Pids for usage with kill/wait functions? On Unix you could use core.sys.posix.signal.kill(pid_t, int) core.sys.posix.sys.wait.wait(int*) core.sys.posix.sys.wait.waitpid(pid_t, int*, int) I tested the kill function and it works like a charm. Since pid_t is just an alias to int, just provide the process integer to the function. On Windows, I'm guessing, you could use core.sys.windows.winbase.TerminateProcess(HANDLE, UINT) I don't have a Windows environment set up so you will have to play with this.

A typical NodeJS application has a process tree of 4-5 levels. I had to switch really fast from std.process functionality like kill and wait to OS specific functionality because the child processes were not killed entirely leading to effects like blocked ports/files/directories. I have to use windows command taskkill.exe with parameter "Child tree kill". What I miss is s.th. to get the child Pids of a parent Pid. Again I can use OS dependent functionality to retrieve the processIDs of the children, but how to convert these processIDs to Pids for usage with kill/wait functions? Do I miss s.th. fundamental with std.process? Kind regards André Yeah we don't support that right now in std.process.
