Re: killing child process

Actually to kill all of them would not be hard.... Try something like ps -eaf | grep httpd | awk '{print $2}' actualy it will be named only other_script.php (it doesn't go through httpd).

You can execute the scripts with a dummy parameter that will be a random string and grep for that in the above command.

That will give you all the httpd processes...    pipe that into kill

Hello, Running PHP 4.0.6 on RedHat 7.2. I'm writing a command line script (called scirpt.php) and am using the backtick operator to start other processes from my script. $com_response = ./other_script.php ; or #com_response = wget ....; I can kill scirpt.php easily but that wont kill other_script.php, there would be no problem killing one process manually, but i could have many scirpts starting from the main script. Killing them all would be a task. I could prefix their name them with 'ch_' and kill all these. But thats not the solution i'm looking for. Is there a way to make a process a child, so that when the parent termintaes/is terminated the child terminates also ? thx gamin. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
