ruby - how can a process be killed with all its childern -
i have situation 1 xterm runs xterm runs process. set kind of watchdog , kill windows in case of stuck process.
i'm using ruby this. when first xterm opened it's pid, , later when sigterm sent it, first xterm window dies, not second.
it can reproduced in irb:
irb(main):002:0> cmd = "xterm -e xterm -e sleep 1000" => "xterm -e xterm -e sleep 1000" irb(main):003:0> pid = process.spawn(cmd) => 669 irb(main):004:0> process.kill(15, 669) => 1 this leaves second xterm window open. how can process chain killed?
thanks
using either ps xf or pstree, can dynamically see running processes hierarchy.
i've used strace track behaviour of programs. turned checking contents of /proc/$pid/stat , /proc/$pid/status, give them information of process's parent is.
probably, have processes parent pid equal pid got (or process's ppid).
