I run a script, and so Bash runs non-interactively. In the script I
run some commands with:
> some_command &
My script is run by a process which doesn't have a controlling
terminal, and so my script doesn't inherit the terminal.
I want Bash to kill the commands that I run when my script exits. The
option "huponexit" doesn't work for me because Bash runs
non-interactively. How can I achieve my goal?
Since it's a script, all processes are in the same process group.
Depending on your system (most accept this), you could do something
like
trap 'kill -s HUP 0' 0
I'm assuming that you're running the script from a job control shell,
and that the process group of the jobs run from the script is the same
as the script's pid. If that's the case, you should be able to do
something like:
trap 'kill -s HUP -$$' 0
in the script as well.
