You've already found out how to solve your issue but here are the details. Sending a *single* SIGINT or SIGTERM (and if supported by your system at compile time SIGHUP or SIGPIPE) will cancel the scan in progress. This should leave your scanner in a usable state. Sending one of these signals again will abort the scan in progress (and may leave your scanner in an unusable state). You can send signals with the kill command or via the keyboard. The latter is somewhat key binding dependent but usually Ctrl-C will do the Right Thing.
