如果你想按名称杀死一个进程:

killall -9 -g someprocessname

or

pgrep someprocessname | xargs pkill -9 -g

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

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//,/ }

brad的答案也是我推荐的，除了如果你使用——ppid选项ps，你可以完全放弃awk。

for child in $(ps -o pid -ax --ppid $PPID) do ....... done

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 $@

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。
