Summary: bash: please provide an easy way to spawn a new process group from script Project: Savannah Administration Submitted by: None Submitted on: Sun 01 Nov 2020 12:51:58 AM UTC Category: None Priority: 5 - Normal Severity: 3 - Normal Status: None Assigned to: None Originator Email: cli...@gmail.com Operating System: None Open/Closed: Open Discussion Lock: Any _______________________________________________________ Details: I was battling this problem now for several hours i wanted to do this: { a | b; } & pid=$! and then later kill -- -$pid to kill all the processes spawned by the pipeline. But this proved to be immensely complicated as no new process group is spawned from within a script (unless set -m which is not recommended) Please, provide a syntactic construct to spawn a new process group (or at least there should be some usable command to do that). _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.nongnu.org/support/?110356> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.nongnu.org/
