Hi ALL,
Looks like off topic, but it can be useful for Oracle administration purposes on Linux (Unix) platform.

I have need to kill one of my shell scripts in case of timeout is off. Not just single process but all that is relative to it.

After searching thought net I have wrote my routine. Looks like there is place for improvement. Can somebody recommend one, or somebody has more elegant way how to achieve the goal.

#!/bin/bash
# there $1 is pid of the process
v_pforkill=`pstree -p $1 |
awk -F"-" '{NF>0;for (i=1;i<=NF;i++) print $i}' | sort -u |
awk -F"(" '{print $2}' |
awk -F")" '{print $1}' |
sort -u |
awk '{ORS=" "; print $1 }'`
kill -9 $v_pforkill

With all my respects,
