Hi i have this process tree:
The above screenshot shows a process tree. In my Perl script i know the PID of dscli. I have written the following code to kill a single PID:
use Win32::Process;
use strict;
use warnings;
if(defined($ARGV[0])){
my $pid = "$ARGV[0]";
my $exitcode = 0;
Win32::Process::KillProcess($pid, $exitcode);
}else{
print "No argument provided :(\n";
}
The problem is that in my script i don't know the java process' PID. I have to get the dscli's child PID which is the java process. If i kill the dscli's PID using the above code then the child(java) don't die with it.
So my question is, how can i kill the java process which is the child of dscli using perl?

You can use the Windows command
TASKKILL /T
to terminate a process and its child processes.
