Ok. I am really bad at scripting, so perhaps my question is very silly, but... I create and run a script with the content: git rev-list --header --boundary --parents --topo-order 2229ff5c7c > /tmp/qgit_135902672.txt Then I kill the script while it's running, but his child (git-rev-list) continues to run in background and I would like to stop it either. So how can I write the script to be sure that when stopped, it will kill all his childern? Thanks Marco P.S: I have no way to exec the script in fancy ways, I can just start it and get is PID. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
