Comment (by teor):

 Indeed. Automated killing is generally frowned upon, unless guilt can be
 conclusively established.

 All you'd need to be doing is running a compile at the same time, and
 there would be carnage among innocent processes. (I did this to myself
 while developing that branch. Only reason I didn't kill my tor routers was
 they had 3-digit pids!)

 The existing, canonical solution: use the Tor control protocol to kill the
 tor processes (or confirm their existence), and match both pid, port, and
 Tor control password. That would be safe(r).
