Subject: Re: killing off a process tree

I would like this to be portable on both linux and windows.  Seemingly 
you can only use 0-9 on windows, and none of them seems to kill a tree. 
Some of them are even undefined signals.  Can you do this process-group 
leader thing on windows?  Also , I would like to clarify my original 
question.  I meant taht I would call a parent process to open, which is 
some program.  And that program can POTENTIALLY open up other children 
processes.  The thing is I only have the pid of the parent, and when I 
kill the parent, only the parent will die.  Is there a way that I can 
kill the parent and the children that it sprang (which I did not provide 
the exec code for since they were provided by the parent itself that I 
did not code).
