KILL_PROCESS_TREE - UAG configuration option
Description
The KILL_PROCESS_TREE option specifies whether or not UAG should always terminate the entire task process tree when a Cancel command is issued.
Normally, the entire process tree is terminated, but if one or more of the Children processes ignore/handle the initial SIGTERM signal, they will continue to run even after the task is cancelled.
If KILL_PROCESS_TREE is enabled, however, all descendant processes will be terminated regardless of whether the SIGTERM signal is ignored/handled or not.
Note
This option is available only for Linux/Unix systems.
