You are confusing user group (i.e. www) with process group (i.e. logical

Obviously I did.
See ps(1) and termios(4)
note: termios had the most descriptive explanation of process group
under Job Control that I could find in a few minutes. There probably is
a better man page.
I do not know a way to find process group without forking. An
alternative (if you could not determine process ID) desperation move
would be kill -1 as root (it should not kill system processes according
to kill(2))
Thanks for the pointers!
