I have been searching all day for a nice solution to this problem.
I have three scripts. A start script, a child script and a stop script.
Script A (scripta.sh)
Its Child Script B (scriptb.sh)
Script C (kill_process.sh $PID)
Script A correctly traps the kill command sent from Script C as can be seen in the code below.
The problem is, is that scriptb.sh may take an hour to run, and script A when it receives the kill command, will sit there and wait until ./scriptb.sh finishes.
Is there a way I can get script a to immediately kill all of its children, and get out of there, instead of the two problems I have
1) Not killing scriptb.sh
2) Waiting for scriptb.sh
Thank you but the problem here is, my main calling script that begins the rsh, when it receives the kill command, it actually sits and waits for the rsh to fully complete before it enters the killemall function.
If the rsh command takes one hour, then the kill will take one hour to start the killemall function.
Any ideas on how to get around this? I am sure it is designed like this, ie finish the line of code currently being run before running the code specified in "trap". Unfortunately this is not desirable for me as I need it to quit immediately without finishing the current line aka rsh machineb........

Did you try my second suggestion?
I tried fooling around with this concept:
On the remote machine, the main script is called "clam":
On the remote machine, there's a kill-script called "duck":

I had issues with processes locking up. This script checks for processes and kills them if they are older than a certain time.
Its uses some functions you'll need to define or remove, like slog() which I use for logging, and is_running() which checks if this script is already running so you can... (0 Replies)

I can kill running processes on my linux red hat system using ctrl-c but cannot do it from command line of another terminal using kill -2 pid. Although I can kill them from command line using kill -9 pid and other signals. I would like to do it using the kill -2 pid.

Here is a snippet of my attempts to kill the gzip process
