Thanks for the reply...

I am working on Ubuntu and I did the following:

While running the ant I output the PID into a file like:

ant -f perf_NormalLoad.xml & echo $! > /tmp/java.pid 

For stopping the process I used:

PIDFILE=`cat /home/singhh/tt/java.pid`
echo 'Killing Java process from PID file'  
echo $PIDFILE
kill -9 $PIDFILE

This is also killing the child processes started by the ant. Please let me
know if I can improve on this.

And one more thing I would like to ask is about how to get the list of
processes created by a process. I want this to make sure that all the
processes created by parent ant process are also killed once I Killed ant
process. Any way ant can write the output of new processes created into a
file. Then we can read them and  kill them after killing the ant process.

I was trying jps command but it lists all the running jvm process ID's but I
want only the ID's of processes started by ant process we started (whose ID
we recorded in a file). Is there any way to perform this.

Regards
