如果你知道传递父进程的pid，下面这个shell脚本应该可以工作:

for child in $(ps -o pid,ppid -ax | \
   awk "{ if ( \$2 == $pid ) { print \$1 }}")
do
  echo "Killing child process $child because ppid = $pid"
  kill $child
done

为了补充Norman Ramsey的答案，如果您想创建一个流程组，可能值得看看setsid。 http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/setsid.html

The setsid() function shall create a new session, if the calling process is not a process group leader. Upon return the calling process shall be the session leader of this new session, shall be the process group leader of a new process group, and shall have no controlling terminal. The process group ID of the calling process shall be set equal to the process ID of the calling process. The calling process shall be the only process in the new process group and the only process in the new session.

我的意思是你可以从头开始创建一个组。我在php中使用这个功能是为了能够在启动整个进程树后杀死它。

这可能是个坏主意。我对你们的评论很感兴趣。

下面是@zhigang的答案的一个变种，它没有AWK，只依赖于Bash的本地解析可能性:

function killtree {
  kill -STOP "$1"
  ps -e -o pid= -o ppid= | while read -r pid ppid
                           do
                             [[ $ppid = $1 ]] || continue
                             killtree "$pid"  || true # Skip over failures
                           done
  kill -CONT "$1"          
  kill -TERM "$1"
}

它在mac和Linux上都运行得很好。在您不能依赖于管理流程组的情况下——比如在编写测试必须在多个环境中构建的软件的脚本时——这种遍历树技术绝对是有用的。

rkill命令从pslist包发送给定的信号(或SIGTERM默认)到指定的进程及其所有后代:

rkill [-SIG] pid/name...

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。

下面的代码已经在FreeBSD, Linux和MacOS X上进行了测试，只依赖于pgrep和kill (ps -o版本在BSD下不工作)。第一个参数是父pid，子pid必须被终止。第二个参数是一个布尔值，用于确定父pid是否也必须终止。

KillChilds() {
        local pid="${1}"
        local self="${2:-false}"

        if children="$(pgrep -P "$pid")"; then
                for child in $children; do
                        KillChilds "$child" true
                done
        fi

        if [ "$self" == true ]; then
                kill -s SIGTERM "$pid" || (sleep 10 && kill -9 "$pid" &)
        fi
}

KillChilds $$ > /dev/null 2>&1

这将向shell脚本中的任何子/孙辈进程发送SIGTERM，如果SIGTERM没有成功，它将等待10秒，然后发送kill。

答:早些时候

下面的代码也可以工作，但是会在BSD上杀死shell本身。

KillSubTree() {
    local parent="${1}"
    for child in $(ps -o pid=$parent); do
            if [ $$ -ne $child ]; then (kill -s SIGTERM $child || (sleep 10 && kill -9 $child & )) > /dev/null 2>&1 ; fi
    done
}
# Example lanch from within script
KillSubTree $$ > /dev/null 2>&1
