Hello, I have a problem with a bash script. The script (example) is very simple:
----script.sh----------------------- #!/bin/bash echo hello ssh PT-AGCMLX1 "while true; do date; sleep 10s; done" ------------------------------------ When I start script.sh, look up its pid via ps and kill it, the ssh keeps running: 9311 pts/4 S+ 0:00 /bin/bash ./script.sh 9312 pts/4 S+ 0:00 ssh PT-AGCMLX1 while true; do date; sleep 10s; done > kill 9311 9312 pts/4 S 0:00 ssh PT-AGCMLX1 while true; do date; sleep 10s; done How can I change my script so that it kills all its child processes, if it is killed itself ? I tried to use the "trap" function of bash, but it never used the correct pid...
