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

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。

很长的故事

命令kill——-$PGID杀死所有进程，包括孙子进程。

> kill -CONT -"$PGID"  # awake stopped processes
> kill -KILL -"$PGID"  # kill -9 to be sure

> ps fj

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。

在杀死孩子之前杀死父母可能更好;否则，父母可能会在他自杀之前再次繁殖新的孩子。这些会在杀戮中幸存下来。

我的ps版本和上面的不一样;也许太老了，所以奇怪的握手……

使用shell脚本而不是shell函数有很多优点…

然而，这基本上是志刚的想法

#!/bin/bash
if test $# -lt 1 ; then
    echo >&2 "usage: kiltree pid (sig)"
fi ;

_pid=$1
_sig=${2:-TERM}
_children=$(ps j | grep "^[ ]*${_pid} " | cut -c 7-11) ;
echo >&2 kill -${_sig} ${_pid}
kill -${_sig} ${_pid}
for _child in ${_children}; do
    killtree ${_child} ${_sig}
done

如果你知道你想要杀死的东西的pid，你通常可以从会话id开始，和同一会话中的所有东西。我会仔细检查，但我使用这个脚本在循环中启动rsync，我想要死亡，而不是启动另一个(因为循环)，因为如果我只是杀死所有的rsync。

kill $(ps -o pid= -s $(ps -o sess --no-heading --pid 21709))

如果你不知道pid，你仍然可以嵌套更多

kill $(ps -o pid= -s $(ps -o sess --no-heading --pid $(pgrep rsync )))

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。

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。
