Kill child processes
On Unix, child processes are not killed when parent dies. Each process is part of a process group (pgid). When pgid == pid, it is the process group leader. node creates child processes with the parent as the group leader (detached = false). You can send a signal to entire group using kill(-pgid), as in, negative value in argument. Systemd can be made to do this by setting the KillMode=control-group. Unrelated: Process groups reside inside session groups. Each session group has a controlling terminal. Only one process in the session group has access to the terminal. Process group is basically like a bash pipeline. A session group is the entire login session with only one process having terminal access at a time. Fixes #543
