[BusyBox] (Ash) 'exec' starts a new tread

[Alfred Zastow]

Hi Developers,

I'm fighting with a different behavior of ash compared to bash:

If I start something within a shellscript with 'exec' ash generates a 
new pid and the child seems to be independent from the father-process, 
even if you kill the father job.

When you do the same thing (exec) with bash, the child takes over the pid.

Right now I don't know a solution for killing a exec'ed child if I know 
only the pid from its father  :-(


best regards
Alfred
