Something I found myself saying recently: "When the parent process is about to die it's tries to kill its children, otherwise the orphans stick around holding onto their ports which is super annoying."


Questionable search you may have to explain to your family includes:

"How to kill child of parent with fork"


how to kill zombie - kill their parents. repeat until no more parents are left.


If you had omitted the word ‘process’ you would have achieved the height of perfection.
