Hi,
I have a use case where I need to run tree-kill with elevated user privileges to kill a parent and its child processes.
One way to get this use case to work with tree-kill is to call it from the command line like this:
sudo treeKill [pid]
Thanks!

Hi Alice,
That should be pretty easy. Assuming you have NodeJS installed on your path, this ought to work:
#! /usr/bin/env node
kill = require('tree-kill')
kill(process.argv[2])
I'll consider adding a CLI command to the tree-kill package so it's easier to install
