Tree Kill
=========
Kill all processes in the process tree, including the root process.
Examples
=======
Kill all the descendent processes of the process with pid `1`, including the process with pid `1` itself:
```js
var kill = require('tree-kill');
kill(1);
```
Send a signal other than SIGTERM.:
```js
var kill = require('tree-kill');
kill(1, 'SIGKILL');
```
Run a callback when done killing the processes. Passes an error argument if there was an error.
```js
var kill = require('tree-kill');
kill(1, 'SIGKILL', function(err) {
// Do things
});
```
You can also install tree-kill globally and use it as a command:
```sh
tree-kill 1 # sends SIGTERM to process 1 and its descendents
tree-kill 1 SIGTERM # same
tree-kill 1 SIGKILL # sends KILL instead of TERMINATE
```
Methods
=======
## require('tree-kill')(pid, [signal], [callback]);
Sends signal `signal` to all children processes of the process with pid `pid`, including `pid`. Signal defaults to `SIGTERM`.
For Linux, this uses `ps -o pid --no-headers --ppid PID` to find the parent pids of `PID`.
For Darwin/OSX, this uses `pgrep -P PID` to find the parent pids of `PID`.
For Windows, this uses `'taskkill /pid PID /T /F'` to kill the process tree. Note that on Windows, sending the different kinds of POSIX signals is not possible.
Install
=======
With [npm](https://npmjs.org) do:
```
npm install tree-kill
```
