I need to kill a process and all of its subprocesses programatically.

Killing the group is not an option because I do not want to kill the parent processes.

Example:

pid process 1 nice parent process that should live 2 subprocess of 1, but a nice one, should live 3 subprocess of 1, evil one, should die 4 childprocess of 3, inherite evil, should die 5 childprocess of 3, inherite evil, should die 6 childprocess of 5, inherite evil second line, should die kill --some-cool-option 3

I don't think there is a solution as simple as a simple kill command.
