kill the child process

[Shao Zhang <shao@cia.com.au>]

Hi,
	sorry for this none-debian specific question.

	In my C program, I have created a child process to do some timeout
	stuff in case something goes wrong.

	But when I exit the main program, how do I kill this child process
	since I no longer need it??

	I have checked the man page for wait... but is there anyway to instantly kill
	this child process??

	Thanks

Shao.
