Children not exiting with overviewer

[Yomguithereal]

Children are not killed when overviewer quits. This is problematic with long running scripts such as servers etc.

A simple process.on('exit', () => child.kill()) can do the trick. However I notice that you use webpack to compile your published files and it will shim process and it's not a good thing. You should probably compile your lib using babel alone. Is there a reason for you to use webpack here?

Hi @Yomguithereal

I added your solution in e687642 and published a new minor version – I am pretty sure what webpack does not shim process because I configured to build a bundle for Node (and not the browser) so it should work.

@renke I am still having an issue with child processes not exiting. Any advice?

I tried a variety of similar packages and this issue happened with all of the following:

• http-server
• lr-http-server
• webpack-dev-server

The first time, everything runs fine. If I quit overviewer and start it again, I get "port is already in use" type warnings. I then have to manually kill the process before restarting overviewer.
