Based on the suggestions of Uwe and Vladimir, I tried |
| 14 |
trap 'pkill -TERM -P $$; kill -s TERM $$' TERM |
| 15 |
<do something> |
| 16 |
. /path/to/child.sh |
| 17 |
<do something else> |
| 18 |
Doesn't work, yet. Note that child.sh is a shell script that may execute |
| 19 |
some other command (like rsync), so the "." by itself may not be enough. |
