Subject: Easy shell question: how to make a script killing all his childs when killed?
Message-ID: <e5bfff550612090716p215167b9r2277b09c09b18894@mail.gmail.com>

Ok. I am really bad at scripting, so perhaps my question is very silly, but...

I create and run a script with the content:

git rev-list --header --boundary --parents --topo-order 2229ff5c7c  >
/tmp/qgit_135902672.txt

Then I kill the script while it's running, but his child
(git-rev-list) continues to run in background and I would like to stop
it either.

So how can I write the script to be sure that when stopped, it will
kill all his childern?

Thanks
Marco

P.S: I have no way to exec the script in fancy ways, I can just start
