Hi,

I need hints how to act if someone kills my Cygwin (parent) process using Windows task manager and I want to kill all forked child processes.
I already keep a list of all childs pids and can kill them successfully in an SIGINT handler (if the programm is started in foreground and is interrupted e.g. by Ctrl-C).

Michael
