Is the following insufficient?

I can think of two strategies to accomplish killing child processes only.

1. Make each child process retain a handle on each of its own child processes so that you can, as you said, "cascade the 
signalling down through all these programs." Trap SIGTERM and, before exiting, send SIGTERM to all owned child processes.

2. Start sMain with `nohup` and then use SIGHUP to kill the children.
