| Jul 3, 2014 at 21:09 | comment | added | Distempr | Thanks! The unprivileged user trick is a great suggestion. I'm glad to see my theory was correct. I'd like to write my scripts to be as logically sound as possible, taking account for (admittedly extreme) edge cases. At least now I'm happy to say that there's no way to be sure without being the parent, or being the process itself. The fact that pkill does this and that it's not at least briefly mentioned in the man pages slightly concerns me. People should be aware that it's not always going to kill the same process. Would I be crazy to send a bug report and ask to get it added to the docs? | |
