Sorry, I'm not quite sure I understand your comment, I'm sure you are
not saying its a bug in Geany if a users build script behaves badly??

Agreed thats why I suggest you put the kill build function in an
external script that Geany runs, then you can use it but it isn't
available by default to cause trouble for other users.
Subject to comment by Enrico et al there is no reason that such a
script couldn't be distributed with Geany with instructions how to
configure it, but IMO it should not be part of the default build.

Yeah but system calls arn't available at user level.
