generically you want
man ps
that will help with the link process - the trick of course
is that these fluctuate from *nix platform to platform -
{ can not help you with the 'windows' side - since their
process management schema is not always clear... }
then depending upon whether your OS allows for - and you implemented
things like 'session ID's so that you can track on that with say
ps --sid $sidVal
you would of course want to start from the outside in...
Or you are off for the day at the races with the canonical parse
down problem of
given $pid
find all $cpids such that PPID_of_cpid == $pid
if you are looking to code that.
What I prefer to do in these cases - for production releases,
is mandate that the daemons run as a specially named UID - so
that we can glob all of them with some form of
ps -u $special_uid
and walk around the results.
