SYNOPSIS

pdeathsigexec cmd ...

DESCRIPTION

pdeathsigexec: signal process when parent exits

A subprocess whose parent exits may be re-parented to init (PID 1) and continue to run. pdeathsigexec sets the process to have a signal sent if the parent process terminates.

The "signal on parent termination" behaviour applies to the executed process only and not descendents (prctl(2)):

The parent-death signal setting is cleared for the child of a fork(2).
It is also (since Linux 2.4.36 / 2.6.23) cleared when  executing  a
set-user-ID or set-group-ID binary, or a binary that has associated
capabilities (see capabilities(7)); otherwise, this value is preserved
across execve(2).

EXAMPLES

$ sh -c "sleep inf" &
[1] 25880
$ kill -9 25880
$ pgrep -fa sleep
25882 sleep inf

pdeathsigexec

$ sh -c "pdeathsigexec sleep inf" &
[1] 25926
$ kill -9 25926
$ pgrep -fa sleep
<no output>
