How to close all background processes in unix?

Question

I have something like:

cd project && python manage.py runserver &
cd utilities && ./coffee_auto_compiler.py

And I want both of them to close on Ctrl-C (or some other command). How can I accomplish that?

EDIT: I tried using jobs -x kill and kill `jobs -p `, but it doesn't seem to kill what I need. Here is what I mean:

moon      8119  0.0  0.0   7556  3008 pts/0    S    13:17   0:00 /bin/bash
moon      8120  6.8  0.4  24568 18928 pts/0    S    13:17   0:00 python manage.py runserver

jobs -p give me just process 8119, but I also need to close 8120, since it's the thing that the first command opened.

If it helps, the commands are actually in a Makefile, and I want it to run two daemons at the same time (and somehow close them at the same time). And yes, I'm using ubuntu, with bash

Answer 1

easiest way? since i dont know which distro you are using, ill assume its ubuntu. system>preferences>keyboard shortcuts. click add, name it, paste in your commands like this: "command1","command2" click add. click on the new shortcut, set shortcut key.

If that doesnt work for some reason, create a launcher with the commands, make sure it does what you want, and then use the above instructions to bind the launcher to the shortcut.

Answer 2

To kill all background the jobs running under the Korn shell (ksh) or Bourne-again shell (bash), enter:

kill `jobs -p`

In bash, you may also use the following variant:

jobs -x kill

^source

Answer 3

pstree

and then kill the root process using kill or pskill these command might not be available in your distro
