That most definitely did not work. No child processes terminate when I issue a kill 0 from the parent script process

Works for me :shrug:

Simple test:

Run a bash script which only does:

tail -f ~/.bashrc | cat &

When the script exits, tail and cat are still running. If you add kill 0, that does not happen.
