Kill Parent/ Child processes
I am trying to kill PIDs that are tied to a KSH "load_sqlplus" and I am using the below code

Code:
 
LIST_PID=`ps -ef | grep -i "load_sqlplus" | grep -v grep | awk '{print $2}'`
if [ "${LIST_PID}" != '' ]; then
    echo "Processes killed" "PID : " $LIST_PID 
    kill -9 $LIST_PID
else
    echo "Nothing to Kill" 
fi

The issue i am facing is there are child processes that are tied to PIDs that falls in the above category and
those are not getting killed.
In other words when i execute the above script I also want to kill any child PIDs associated with the PIDs
getting killed..
Any input will be greatly appreciated

zgrep

ZGREP(1)						      General Commands Manual							  ZGREP(1)

NAME

       zgrep - search possibly compressed files for a regular expression

SYNOPSIS

       zgrep [ grep_options ] [ -e ] pattern filename...

DESCRIPTION

       Zgrep  invokes  grep  on  compressed  or  gzipped  files.   These  grep	options  will  cause  zgrep  to  terminate  with  an  error  code:
       (-[drRzZ]|--di*|--exc*|--inc*|--rec*|--nu*).  All other options specified are passed directly to grep.  If no file is specified,  then  the
       standard input is decompressed if necessary and fed to grep.  Otherwise the given files are uncompressed if necessary and fed to grep.

       If the GREP environment variable is set, zgrep uses it as the grep program to be invoked.

EXIT CODE

       2 - An option that is not supported was specified.
