Subject: killing an entire process group?
Date: Thu, 08 Jun 2006 19:54:01 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <x3ejxzninq.fsf@nowhere.com> (raw)


Is there any way to tell runit that signals for a supervised service
must be sent to the entire process group rather than just the
immediate child of runsv?

I'm specifically trying to get k5start to work.  It spawns a
user-specified process as a child, but periodically reawakens to
refresh the relevant kerberos/afs credentials.  Right now runit sends
a TERM to k5start, which dies, but then the user process (which was a
child of k5start) becomes an orphaned process and keeps running
forever.

Thanks for any advice!
