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.

b) you have to signal the process group in order for the members to receive
the signal, otherwise you are only signaling one process.  the pgid is the
negative of the pid of the process group leader.
