note 87828 added to function.posix-kill

A little recursive function to kill a process and his childs. it works fine for me and I don't have find something else to do it. It's a mix of various scripts I've found. function killProcessAndChilds($pid,$signal) { exec("ps -ef| awk '\$3 == '$pid' { print \$2 }'", $output, $ret); if($ret) return 'you need ps, grep, and awk'; while(list(,$t) = each($output)) { if ( $t != $pid ) { killProcessAndChilds($t,$signal); } } //echo "killing ".$pid."\n"; posix_kill($pid, 9); } ---- Server IP: 89.31.146.176 Probable Submitter: 79.89.29.104 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.posix-kill.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/87828 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/87828/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/87828/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/87828/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/87828/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/87828/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/87828/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/87828 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/87828 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
