However, using this code for `getppid()` would be serious overkill (not to
mention an unbearable performance hit because you have to enumerate *all*
processes to get that information).

is the windows "JobObject" similar to processgroup? at least killing the 
parent process in a jobobject will kill all childs as well:

Reading this page carefully reveals that you have to construct JobObjects explicitly. So you cannot get from a process ID to a JobObject; there is probably none. Or there is one. Or many.

Ciao,
