Make sure that children are handled correctly

[AzP]

I guess this is an important task for all parents ;)

My thought is that we now start several forks (children) but I'm not sure about how well they are handled. If the parent is interrupted (for instance using ctrl+c or using kill -1-9) will it also kill the children?
Is it possible to make sure that this is done?

When I interrupt the parent I also get 'critical' messages stating a 'keyboard interrupt' for each child. No code to actually guarantee this MUST happen though.

Maybe looping the childs in the KeyboardInterrupt exception?

Well that's true, you're right. Now I remember seeing that as well.. So do you think the same would happen if you kill it (the parent) using a kill signal? I guess a simple test will check that out, but I'm not in Linux right now so I'm unable to test.
