The command you mentioned pueue kill --children ${task_id} refers to a command that uses the "pueue" software to kill a specific process and all its child processes.

Here's a breakdown of the different parts of the command:

  • pueue: It represents the command-line interface (CLI) tool called "pueue", which is used to manage and control processes.
  • kill: It is a command used to terminate or stop processes in Unix-like operating systems.
  • --children: It is an option or flag provided by the "pueue" tool, indicating that you want to kill not only the specified process but also all its child processes.
  • ${task_id}: It is a placeholder representing the unique identifier of the task or process you want to kill. You would replace ${task_id} with the actual ID of the task you wish to terminate.

Overall, this command allows you to send a request to the "pueue" tool to kill a specific process and all its associated child processes, ensuring a complete termination of the entire process tree.
