After enough poking in manuals, this certainly looks pukka on Linux...
"man killpg" sez
On Linux, killpg() is implemented as a library function that makes the
call kill(-pgrp, sig).
and "man 2 kill" sez
If sig is 0, then no signal is sent, but error checking is still per‐
formed; this can be used to check for the existence of a process ID or
process group ID.
Given it's already all over the shell it's obviously the right thing to
do here, too.
