From: Name Name Date: 2006-07-12T05:25:06+09:00 Subject: Re: Processes and Portability so i was just testing right now using process explorer that: Process.kill(9, a.pid) only kills the parent and detaches the child, letting the child persist. I also noticed that if i right click on the parent and click kill tree, it will kill both on process explorer. how do i kill the parent and the children, not jsut that parent as in the case above. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
