----------------
If we're going to start specializing how we support this feature on different problems then I think we need to refactor this so we don't have a platform specific code littered throughout the lit code base.

There probably should be a function that determines if `killProcessAndChildren()` is supported. Here's a sketch

```lang=python
def killProcessAndChildrenIsSupported():
   """
      Returns a tuple (<supported> , <error message>)
      where 
       `<supported>` is True if `killProcessAndChildren()` is supported on the current host, returns False otherwise.
      `<error message>` is an empty string if `<supported>` is True, otherwise is contains a string describing why the function is not supported.
    """
    if platform.system() == 'AIX':
       return (True, "")
     try:
       import psutil
       return (True, "")
     except ImportError:
        return (False, "Python psutil module could not be found")
```

This `killProcessAndChildrenIsSupported()` function can then called in any place where we currently try to do `import psutil`. This hides the platform specific logic that you are trying to introduce here.

+        from subprocess import call
+        call('kill -kill $(ps -o pid= -L{})'.format(pid), shell=True)
+    else:
----------------
This `from` statement seems unnecessary given that we already have `subprocess` imported and we just use `call()` once in this context. I'd rather this was just

```
subprocess.call('kill -kill $(ps -o pid= -L{})'.format(pid), shell=True)
```
