'kill -SIGHUP <process>'?
Thanks. Unfortunately, the problem I had was really about how to find the pid from within a shell program. In the end, a combination of ps, grep, tr, and cut seemed to do the trick.
Or if the child is a bash script, you might be able to re-write it to trap a signal (e.g. SIGUSR1) that instructs the child to kill /its/ child (the assumption being that the child knows its own child's PID).
This is not a bad idea. I may explore this in a future rev... -- Jim Seymour -- 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/
