使用psutil使用python非常容易做到这一点。只要用pip安装psutil，你就有了一整套进程操作工具:

def killChildren(pid):
    parent = psutil.Process(pid)
    for child in parent.get_children(True):
        if child.is_running():
            child.terminate()

使用进程组ID (PGID)杀死属于同一进程树的所有进程

使用默认信号(TERM = 15) 使用信号kill (9)

您可以从同一进程树的任何进程id (PID)中检索PGID

杀- - - $ (ps - o pgid = $ PID | grep - o '[0 - 9] * ')(信号) $(ps -o pgid= $PID | grep -o '[0-9]*')(信号kill)

特别感谢tanager和Speakus对$PID剩余空间和OSX兼容性的贡献。

解释

kill -9 -"$PGID" => Send signal 9 (KILL) to all child and grandchild... PGID=$(ps opgid= "$PID") => Retrieve the Process-Group-ID from any Process-ID of the tree, not only the Process-Parent-ID. A variation of ps opgid= $PID is ps -o pgid --no-headers $PID where pgid can be replaced by pgrp. But: ps inserts leading spaces when PID is less than five digits and right aligned as noticed by tanager. You can use: PGID=$(ps opgid= "$PID" | tr -d ' ') ps from OSX always print the header, therefore Speakus proposes: PGID="$( ps -o pgid "$PID" | grep [0-9] | tr -d ' ' )" grep -o [0-9]* prints successive digits only (does not print spaces or alphabetical headers).

更多命令行

PGID=$(ps -o pgid= $PID | grep -o [0-9]*)
kill -TERM -"$PGID"  # kill -15
kill -INT  -"$PGID"  # correspond to [CRTL+C] from keyboard
kill -QUIT -"$PGID"  # correspond to [CRTL+\] from keyboard
kill -CONT -"$PGID"  # restart a stopped process (above signals do not kill it)
sleep 2              # wait terminate process (more time if required)
kill -KILL -"$PGID"  # kill -9 if it does not intercept signals (or buggy)

限制

正如davide和Hubert Kario所注意到的，当kill被属于同一棵树的进程调用时，kill在终止整个树的kill之前可能会杀死自己。 因此，请确保使用具有不同process - group - id的进程运行该命令。

结论

我注意到在这个例子中PID和PGID是相等的(28957)。 这就是为什么我一开始觉得杀了。-$PID就够了。但如果进程是在Makefile中生成的，则进程ID与组ID不同。

我认为kill——-$(ps -o pgid= $PID | grep -o[0-9]*)是当从不同的Group ID(另一个进程树)调用时杀死整个进程树的最好的简单技巧。

在shell脚本中杀死子进程:

很多时候我们需要杀死因为某些原因被挂起或阻塞的子进程。如。FTP连接问题。

有两种方法，

1)为每个子进程创建独立的新父进程，该父进程将在超时时监视并终止子进程。

创建test.sh，如下所示:

#!/bin/bash

declare -a CMDs=("AAA" "BBB" "CCC" "DDD")
for CMD in ${CMDs[*]}; do
    (sleep 10 & PID=$!; echo "Started $CMD => $PID"; sleep 5; echo "Killing $CMD => $PID"; kill $PID; echo "$CMD Completed.") &
done
exit;

使用以下命令查看其他终端中名称为“test”的进程。

watch -n1 'ps x -o "%p %r %c" | grep "test" '

上面的脚本将创建4个新的子进程和它们的父进程。每个子进程将运行10秒。但是一旦达到5秒的超时，它们各自的父进程将终止这些子进程。 所以孩子将无法完成执行(10秒)。 围绕这些时间(切换10和5)来玩游戏，看看另一种行为。在这种情况下，child将在达到10秒超时之前在5秒内完成执行。

2)让当前父进程监视并在超时时终止子进程。这不会创建单独的父节点来监视每个子节点。此外，您还可以在同一个父进程中正确地管理所有子进程。

创建test.sh，如下所示:

#!/bin/bash

declare -A CPIDs;
declare -a CMDs=("AAA" "BBB" "CCC" "DDD")

CMD_TIME=15;
for CMD in ${CMDs[*]}; do
    (echo "Started..$CMD"; sleep $CMD_TIME; echo "$CMD Done";) &
    CPIDs[$!]="$RN";
    sleep 1;
done

GPID=$(ps -o pgid= $$);
CNT_TIME_OUT=10;
CNT=0;
while (true); do
    declare -A TMP_CPIDs;

    for PID in "${!CPIDs[@]}"; do
        echo "Checking "${CPIDs[$PID]}"=>"$PID;

        if ps -p $PID > /dev/null ; then
          echo "-->"${CPIDs[$PID]}"=>"$PID" is running..";
          TMP_CPIDs[$PID]=${CPIDs[$PID]};
        else
          echo "-->"${CPIDs[$PID]}"=>"$PID" is completed.";
        fi
    done

    if [ ${#TMP_CPIDs[@]} == 0 ]; then
        echo "All commands completed.";
        break;
    else
        unset CPIDs;
        declare -A CPIDs;
        for PID in "${!TMP_CPIDs[@]}"; do
            CPIDs[$PID]=${TMP_CPIDs[$PID]};
        done
        unset TMP_CPIDs;

        if [ $CNT -gt $CNT_TIME_OUT ]; then
            echo ${CPIDs[@]}"PIDs not reponding. Timeout reached $CNT sec. killing all childern with GPID $GPID..";
            kill -- -$GPID;
        fi
    fi

    CNT=$((CNT+1));
    echo "waiting since $b secs..";
    sleep 1;
done

exit;

使用以下命令查看其他终端中名称为“test”的进程。

watch -n1 'ps x -o "%p %r %c" | grep "test" '

Above script will create 4 new child processes. We are storing pids of all child process and looping over them to check if they are finished their execution or still running. Child process will execution till CMD_TIME time. But if CNT_TIME_OUT timeout reach , All children will get killed by parent process. You can switch timing and play around with script to see behavior. One drawback of this approach is , it is using group id for killing all child tree. But parent process itself belong to same group so it will also get killed.

如果不希望终止父进程，可能需要为父进程分配其他组id。

更多细节可以在这里找到，

在shell脚本中杀死子进程

立即终止整个进程组，就像^C一样:

PID="$(pgrep -f unique_command_line_part)"
if [[ -n "$PID" ]]
then
    PGID="$(ps --no-headers -p $PID -o pgid)"
    kill -SIGINT -- -${PGID// /}
fi

每一行都在这个答案中进行了解释

我使用了这里描述的方法的一个稍微修改的版本: https://stackoverflow.com/a/5311362/563175

它看起来是这样的:

kill `pstree -p 24901 | sed 's/(/\n(/g' | grep '(' | sed 's/(\(.*\)).*/\1/' | tr "\n" " "`

其中24901是父PID。

它看起来很丑，但它的工作很完美。

受到ysth评论的启发

kill -- -PGID

与其给它一个进程号，不如给它一个组的否定 号码。像往常一样，几乎任何命令，如果你想要一个正常的参数 以“-”开头，不被解释为开关，在“——”前面
