Proc::Killfam(3)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so bestie, you’re looking at the user-contributed Perl documentation manual page for Proc::Killfam(3) — and the whole vibe is: Proc::Killfam — kill a list of pids, and all their sub-children. 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

use Proc::Killfam;
killfam $signal, @pids;

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so killfam accepts the same arguments as the Perl builtin kill command — same args, no cap — but additionally, it recursively searches the process table for children and kills them as well. ✨

like, it’s not just the pids you named, bestie — it goes looking for the children too, and kills them as well. periodt. 🔥

💖 EXAMPLE 💖

killfam 'TERM', ($pid1, $pid2, @more_pids);
