To Kill Parent / Child process

807559Jan 17 2007 — edited Feb 9 2007
Hi ,
I'm facing problem with killing a process. I'm using "kill -9 <ppid>"(ppid - parent process id) command to kill the process, this command kills the parent process but the associated child process is not killed.
I'm new to this Solaris, and my question is
Do killing the Parent process internally kills the child process too? if the child process is taking time, how to ensure that the child process is killed before killing the Parent process.
Thanks in advance for your response.
