Show HN: Corral – Kill every command your agent starts

Quality: 8/10 Relevance: 9/10

Summary

Corral is a Linux tool that runs a command with a time limit and ensures no descendant processes remain after the run. It uses either an enforced cgroup v2 container or a fallback approach to terminate all processes in the command’s tree, addressing common issues that leave daemons or orphaned processes behind in CI/CD and DevOps workflows. The project clarifies limitations (Linux-only, not a security sandbox) and provides install, usage, and exit-code details.
