[ale]Killing all processes on a port

[cfowler at outpostsentinel.com (Chris Fowler)]

Hello,

I want to be able to kill all processes on a tty that I'm not attached to.   I would like to 
simulate a hangup on that port that would cause getty to respawn and all processes
to terminate.

I would assume this is the best method:

1.  Locate tty to kill
2..  Get process id of the main process that uses that as its controlling terminal
3.  Kill it.

Is this the best method?  I'm using C to facilate this ability.

Thanks,
Chris Fowler
