Terminating Child Processes starting from Release 2.7.2

When terminating a job process, the Agent performs the following steps:
- collect chld process PIDs of job process,
- send SIGTERM to job process,
- wait for one of the following events, whichever arrives first:
  - wait for Grace Timeout configured with the job,
  - wait for stdout/stderr to be released by the job process.
- send SIGKILL to job process if Grace Timeout is exceeded,
- send SIGTERM to child processes for which PIDs have previously been collected; send SIGTERM recursively to child processes of a child process,
- wait for 50% of the duration of the Grace Timeout or for 1s whichever is the higher value,
- send SIGKILL signal to remaining child processes recursively.
The Agent makes use of Java for process management.
Users are free to use traps as explained with the below chapter. However, there is no need to add a trap to job scripts as the Agent by default will terminate child processes.
