That may work in instances where the main process (setup) spawns a
subprocess that controls all later processes. But it won't work in a case
where the main process forks off a bunch of child processes, since the
number of child processes may be variable and have different names, so how
would you know which ones were associated with the parent?
Speaking as someone who has run into this unfortunate problem, i would
dearly love someone to have a ready-made answer to this. :)
