[Baker, Stephen M]

I'm looking for the correct exit command for the following situation:

Program A coninuously checks environment conditions and runs Program B as
necessary.

Each time Program B runs, it spawns multiple instances of program C.

Eventually, Programs B and C complete execution, modify the environment, and
Program A again notices changes and restarts the cycle.

I have the program catching signal interrupts for exit purposes, but I don't
know whether to go with a kill 9, an exit(?), or what.

What I want to do when exit is called is kill all instances of programs A
and B, but not any occurances of program C.
