#!/bin/sh
#
# A script that ensures all the programs in a process group die when the
# script dies that started them.  So if you run:
#     selfclean myprog args...
# and 'myprog' starts several subprocesses, then if myprog or selfclean
# die for any reason (particularly CTRL-C or SIGTERM), selfclean will
# attempt to kill all the subprocesses too.
#
# You can use selfclean as the first line of a shell script:
#   #!/bin/selfclean /bin/sh
# This will ensure that a script's subprograms are cleaned up nicely.
