Description Martin Brehovsky 2002-11-07 16:50:16 UTC

Kill utility is not able to destroyu child process
of killed process on windows operating system.
This causes problems IDE starts external processes
like tomcat and then is hard killed, because
tomcat is still running and directories with it's
jar cannot be deleted.

This is not going to be trivial, since Microsoft
does not offer any API to see parental relations
between processes for NT4 and if does for other
OSes, then it is different for each OS (e.g. Win98
is differnet than W2K, but I don't know anything
about WinXP)
