idea for killing grandchildren #81

Open oconnor663 opened 4 years ago

What if we froze the child with SIGSTOP, then queried it's childen, then froze them with SIGSTOP, and so on recursively? Could we guarantee that nothing in the tree gets reaped, and then "atomically" kill everything?

How does this compare to "the freezer"?
