in thread Killing child process

  • This program doesn't work when run as root either.
  • I believe you're thinking of SIGKILL. SIGTERM is a perfectly normal signal. If I change the kill command to just send a normal signal to $kidpid, then the child process prints the TERM message, but not the grandchildren. Similarly, if you make the sleeps a little longer, you can send TERM signals by hand to individual grandchildren, and they print the message.
