I run a shell script that runs
tail -f someFile | awk -f someAwkScript.awk
When I kill this script, the tail and awk processes continue to work...
How do I kill the shell script with all its children processes ?

1. killing a shell script is not killing child processes
dispatcher (NOHUP mode)->daemon->shell script (parent
PID)->executables(child PIDs)
When we try to kill shell script (parent PID) with kill-9 command, I
am expecting that all executables (child PIDs) that are running from
shell script should also be killed.
Shell script process is getting killed but not the child processes.
I tried read all the messages patiently but it added up more
confusions.
I found a way to kill all child processes before killing parent shell
script but trying to find a answer for this behaviour.
Any expert responses are welcome.
