Description

When a vcld state process is killed (not the main vcld daemon process), child processes which were running by the state process are not automatically killed. This can produce unexpected results and leave processes running for a long time.

It would probably be good to automatically kill child processes when a vcld state process is killed. Care has to be taken to make sure the child processes of the main vcld process are not killed when it is killed.
