[Gllug] killing a process and child processes

[salsaman at xs4all.nl]

Hi all,
I need some code which does the following - send a sighup to a process and
all child processes of that process.

The only way I have found of doing this is "killall -HUP -g foo". However
this is far from perfect (for example killall does not exist on *BSD).

Is there a better way to do this ?


Regards,
Gabriel.
