Missing functionality in std.process?

[Andre Pany via Digitalmars-d-learn]

Hi,

I developed an application which starts and stops other 
applications like NodeJS HTTP server applications or Java Tomee 
Servlets. A typical NodeJS application has a process tree of 4-5 
levels.
I had to switch really fast from std.process functionality like 
kill and wait to OS specific functionality because the child 
processes were not killed entirely leading to effects like 
blocked ports/files/directories. I have to use windows command 
taskkill.exe with parameter "Child tree kill".

What I miss is s.th. to get the child Pids of a parent Pid. Again 
I can use OS dependent functionality to retrieve the processIDs 
of the children, but how to convert these processIDs to Pids for 
usage with kill/wait functions?

Do I miss s.th. fundamental with std.process?

Kind regards
André
