Need help with SIGCHLD

Hello everybody, this is my first post on this forum. I have a program that has a child process that sleeps for 5 second and exit. I'm suppose to modify this program so that when the child exits, the parent reports the exit status of the child, so I also have to deal with SIGINT and SIGQUIT. Can...

signal handler for SIGCHLD

Hi, I have an c++ application which uses the function fork and execvp(). The parent does not wait until the child ends. The parents just creates children and let them do their stuff. You can see the parent program as a batch-manager. I have added a SIGCHLD handler to the program: void...

Hi. I have a program whose job it is to manage 15 child processes. Sometimes these children die (sometimes deliberately other times with a SEGV).

killall

KILLALL(1)							   User Commands							KILLALL(1)

NAME

       killall - kill processes by name

SYNOPSIS

       killall [-e,--exact] [-g,--process-group] [-i,--interactive] [-q,--quiet] [-v,--verbose] [-w,--wait] [-V,--version] [-S,--sid] [-c,--con-
       text] [-s,--signal signal] [--] name ...
       killall -l
       killall -V,--version

DESCRIPTION

       killall sends a signal to all processes running any of the specified commands. If no signal name is specified, SIGTERM is sent.

       Signals can be specified either by name (e.g. -HUP) or by number (e.g. -1).

       If the command name contains a slash (/), processes executing that particular file will be selected for killing, independent of their name.

       killall returns a zero return code if at least one process has been killed for each ilisted command. killall returns zero otherwise.

       A killall process never kills itself (but may kill other killall processes).

OPTIONS

       -e, --exact
	      Require an exact match for very long names. If a command name is longer than 15 characters, the full name may be	unavailable  (i.e.
	      it  is  swapped  out). In this case, killall will kill everything that matches within the first 15 characters. With -e, such entries
	      are skipped.  killall prints a message for each skipped entry if -v is specified in addition to -e,

       -g, --process-group
	      Kill the process group to which the process belongs. The kill signal is only sent once per group, even if multiple processes belong-
	      ing to the same process group were found.

       -i, --interactive
	      Interactively ask for confirmation before killing.

       -l, --list
	      List all known signal names.

       -q, --quiet
	      Do not complain if no processes were killed.

       -v, --verbose
	      Report if the signal was successfully sent.

       -V, --version
	      Display version information.

       -w, --wait
	      Wait  for all killed processes to die. killall checks once per second if any of the killed processes still exist and only returns if
	      none are left.  Note that killall may wait forever if the signal was ignored, had no effect, or  if  the	process  stays	in  zombie
	      state.

       -S     (Flask  only) Specify SID: kill only processes with given SID. Mutually exclusive with -c argument.  Must precede other arguments on
	      command line.

       -c     (Flask only) Specify security context: kill only processes with given security context.  Mutually exclusive with -s.   Must  precede
	      other arguments on the command line.

FILES

       /proc	 location of the proc file system

KNOWN BUGS

       Killing by file only works for executables that are kept open during execution, i.e. impure executables can't be killed this way.

       Be warned that typing killall name may not have the desired effect on non-Linux systems, especially when done by a privileged user.

       killall -w doesn't detect if a process disappears and is replaced by a new process with the same PID between scans.
