kill trees of processes

Package Exports

  • tree-kill

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (tree-kill) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

Tree Kill

Kill all processes in the process tree, including the root process.

Example

Kill all the children processes of the process with pid 1, including the process with pid 1 itself:

var kill = require('tree-kill');
kill(1, 'SIGKILL');

Supports callbacks with error handling:

var kill = require('tree-kill');
kill(1, 'SIGKILL', function(err) {
    // Do things
});

Methods

require('tree-kill')(pid, [signal], [callback]);

Sends signal signal to all children processes of the process with pid pid, including pid. Signal defaults to SIGTERM.

For Linux, this uses ps -o pid --no-headers --ppid PID to find the parent pids of PID.

For Windows, this uses 'taskkill /pid PID /T /F' to kill the process tree.

Install

With npm do:

npm install tree-kill
