This should be simple but I haven't found the magic encantation so far: I wish to kill SpamAssassin and all child processes it has started.
[My experience is that trying to signal -s HUP does not work with SA (on CygWin) but puts SA into some sort of unresponsive state.] I have other (than SA) Perl processes running so using "killall" with just the process NAME is not a good choice. So far no combinations of "killall" switches, e.g., using Group ID etc, have worked. My only useful method (other than hitting each process individually) has been to use -i (interactive) and then respond to each confirmation. Thanks for straightening me out -- I am sure this is very easy but haven't gotten it right yet. -- Herb Martin -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
