There are many ways to accomplish this:
Some examples are:

1. In a terminal, use the 'top' command. Notice the PID.  Press k to kill it.
2. again, in a terminal, you can use commands such as ps -aux, kill, pkill
   achieve the same thing.
3. I have used this (simple) method on many occasions:
   the background program occasionally looks for the existance of a
   particular directory.  I use a timer for this.
   When the directory is found existing, it is deleted and it terminates itself.
   I have used the directory idea in the opposite way too: the background 
program
   creates a file or folder.  Anything can delete(rm or rmdir) it.
   Occasionally, the background program doesn't find it exists and terminates 
itself.
