How can I kill parent process script from child process script, without terminating child process in Linux.
If your shell defines PPID,
kill $PPIDwill kill the parent. If your shell does not definePPID, you can probably get it withPPID=$( ps -o ppid= $$ ). There is no reason for this action to kill the child.
