Tree Kill
|
|
=========
|
|
|
|
Kill all processes in the process tree, including the root process.
|
|
|
|
Examples
|
|
=======
|
|
|
|
Kill all the descendent processes of the process with pid `1`, including the process with pid `1` itself:
|
|
```js
|
|
var kill = require('tree-kill');
|
|
kill(1);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Send a signal other than SIGTERM.:
|
|
```js
|
|
var kill = require('tree-kill');
|
|
kill(1, 'SIGKILL');
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Run a callback when done killing the processes. Passes an error argument if there was an error.
|
|
```js
|
|
var kill = require('tree-kill');
|
|
kill(1, 'SIGKILL', function(err) {
|
|
// Do things
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can also install tree-kill globally and use it as a command:
|
|
```sh
|
|
tree-kill 1 # sends SIGTERM to process 1 and its descendents
|
|
tree-kill 1 SIGTERM # same
|
|
tree-kill 1 SIGKILL # sends KILL instead of TERMINATE
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
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 Darwin/OSX, this uses `pgrep -P PID` to find the parent pids of `PID`.
|
|
|
|
For Windows, this uses `'taskkill /pid PID /T /F'` to kill the process tree. Note that on Windows, sending the different kinds of POSIX signals is not possible.
|
|
|
|
