This should be simple but I haven't found the
magic encantation so far:

I wish to kill SpamAssassin and all child processes
it has started.

[My experience is that trying to signal -s HUP does
not work with SA (on CygWin) but puts SA into some
sort of unresponsive state.]

I have other (than SA) Perl processes running so 
using "killall" with just the process NAME is not
a good choice.

So far no combinations of "killall" switches,
e.g., using Group ID etc, have worked.

My only useful method (other than hitting each process
individually) has been to use -i (interactive) and then
respond to each confirmation.

Thanks for straightening me out -- I am sure this is
very easy but haven't gotten it right yet.
