Reliably ends all direct and indirect child processes of the current process
This library ends all child processes spawned by the current process, including nested child processes. The current process itself remains unaffected.
npm install --save end-child-processes
import { endChildProcesses } from "end-child-processes"
// spawn a long-running subprocess
import * as childProcess from "child_process"
childProcess.exec("node -e 'while (true) {}'")
// end all running subprocesses spawned by this program
await endChildProcesses()
On Windows, this library does not attempt to end the WMIC.exe process since it
terminates on its own.
