Revoking tasks calling subprocesses in Celery

I have a celery task calling a bash command (I can use os.system() or subprocess.Popen()).

When I call :

revoke(task_id, terminate=True)

on my task, the subprocess executing my bash command and created by my task is not killed. Is there a way to do that ?

According to the docs, a SIGTERM signal is sent when terminate=True.

http://docs.celeryproject.org/en/latest/userguide/workers.html#revoke-revoking-tasks

Since SIGTERM can be ignored, maybe try sending a SIGKILL?
