Kill on WLP client command should be propagated downstream

Often JEE application clients are used as a gateway between other applications and Liberty (e.g. transforming a proprietary TCP-based protocol into EJB calls).

To start the client the "run" command is being used. When using the "run" command two processes are started (the "client"-command process and a "java" child process that runs the actual code).

There is no "stop/force stop" option available on the client command. Therefore a typical solution is to implement a wrapper script (that calls the client command and stores the process id (pid))) to provide some structured stop possibility to the operations team.

When a kill is being sent to the "client" - process the "java" child process is not being terminated, so the "kill"-signal does not seem to be propagated to the "java" child process from the "client"-command process.

    In our testing, killing the server script causes the server process to also be killed. Could you provide more information that might help us identify the issue and evaluate the request. Many thanks.
