NAME

Proc::Parallel::RemoteKiller - kill off slave processes on control-C

SYNOPSIS

 use Proc::Parallel::RemoteKiller;

 $remote_killer = Proc::Parallel::RemoteKiller->new;

 $remote_killer->note($host, $pid);

 $remote_killer->forget($host, $pid);

 $remote_killer->kill_them_all();

 $remote_killer->forget_all();

DESCRIPTION

This module tries to make control-C work when you've got remote slave processes. It maintains a list of such processes and catches $SIG{INT}.

You tell it about new processes with note. You tell it to forget about processes with forget and forget_all. You can ask that they all be terminated with kill_them_all().

It uses ssh to get to the remote systems to kill the processes.
