Kill Jenkins job and all its children immediately

Question

I am trying to find a way to kill a Jenkins job and all its children immediately. Is there a such a way to do this in Jenkins?

Initially I was looking at finding a process group and killing it:

kill -TERM -- -....

But ps is not returning anything Jenkins related.

1) Is there a way to kill a job and its children in Jenkins and

2) If yes, is it possible to create a job that can take another job as a parameter to kill it?

http://<Jenkins_URL>/job/<Job_Name>/<Build_Number>/stop

That should stop the right process, and its children.

Thanks, will this stop, let's say, Jenkins job that runs a script that has *psql* query in it? Will the query be killed? – Anton Kim Apr 18 '17 at 19:55
@AntonKim Yes: all children process should be stopped. – VonC Apr 18 '17 at 20:15
How is it different from stopping manually in Jenkins itself? – Anton Kim Apr 19 '17 at 14:40
@AntonKim it is the equivalent, but without accessing the web GUI: remote call, which can be part of a script. – VonC Apr 19 '17 at 14:49
It's not been killed either through UI or through kill command http://stackoverflow.com/questions/43645161/pg-dump-not-been-killed-inside-script-with-kill-command – Anton Kim Apr 26 '17 at 22:15
@AntonKim Maybe the process has been orphaned. – VonC Apr 26 '17 at 22:16
