'How to kill selective child processes upon stop or restart of service
In the unit configuration file for systemd service, as mentioned below,
Inside the test_auto.tcsh script, there are 10 processes are being launched.
Upon service restart or stop, I want to kill only 2 selective processes out of 10. Not sure how can I achieve this from the systemd configuration settings.
KillMode=process make sure to kill only main process, on top of that, I want to kill 2 additional child process upon service termination, not all.
I tried to run a command (to kill the 2 selective processes) using ExecPostStop, but seems like this option doesn't work in Restart mode of service.
Any idea to get this functionality from the service settings ?
