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()

谢谢你们的智慧。我的脚本在退出时留下了一些子进程，而否定提示使事情变得更容易。我写这个函数是为了在其他脚本中使用:

# kill my group's subprocesses:          killGroup
# kill also myself:                      killGroup -x
# kill another group's subprocesses:     killGroup N  
# kill that group all:                   killGroup -x N
# N: PID of the main process (= process group ID).

function killGroup () {
    local prid mainpid
    case $1 in
        -x) [ -n "$2" ] && kill -9 -$2 || kill -9 -$$ ;;
        "") mainpid=$$ ;;
         *) mainpid=$1 ;;
    esac
    prid=$(ps ax -o pid,pgid | grep $mainpid)
    prid=${prid//$mainpid/}
    kill -9 $prid 2>/dev/null
    return
}

欢呼。

修改后的志刚回答:

#!/usr/bin/env bash
set -eu

killtree() {
    local pid
    for pid; do
        kill -stop $pid
        local cpid
        for cpid in $(pgrep -P $pid); do
            killtree $cpid
        done
        kill $pid
        kill -cont $pid
        wait $pid 2>/dev/null || true
   done
}

cpids() {
    local pid=$1 options=${2:-} space=${3:-}
    local cpid
    for cpid in $(pgrep -P $pid); do
        echo "$space$cpid"
        if [[ "${options/a/}" != "$options" ]]; then
            cpids $cpid "$options" "$space  "
        fi
    done
}

while true; do sleep 1; done &
cpid=$!
for i in $(seq 1 2); do
    cpids $$ a
    sleep 1
done
killtree $cpid
echo ---
cpids $$ a

这是我使用bash脚本杀死所有子进程的版本。 它不使用递归，依赖于pgrep命令。

Use

killtree.sh PID SIGNAL

killtrees.sh的内容

#!/bin/bash
PID=$1
if [ -z $PID ];
then
    echo "No pid specified"
fi

PPLIST=$PID
CHILD_LIST=`pgrep -P $PPLIST -d,`

while [ ! -z "$CHILD_LIST" ]
do
    PPLIST="$PPLIST,$CHILD_LIST"
    CHILD_LIST=`pgrep -P $CHILD_LIST -d,`
done

SIGNAL=$2

if [ -z $SIGNAL ]
then
    SIGNAL="TERM"
fi
#do substring from comma to space
kill -$SIGNAL ${PPLIST//,/ }

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。

要递归地杀死进程树，请使用killtree():

#!/bin/bash

killtree() {
    local _pid=$1
    local _sig=${2:--TERM}
    kill -stop ${_pid} # needed to stop quickly forking parent from producing children between child killing and parent killing
    for _child in $(ps -o pid --no-headers --ppid ${_pid}); do
        killtree ${_child} ${_sig}
    done
    kill -${_sig} ${_pid}
}

if [ $# -eq 0 -o $# -gt 2 ]; then
    echo "Usage: $(basename $0) <pid> [signal]"
    exit 1
fi

killtree $@
