I may be out of touch with the answer you need. Some C programming is
involved. I am assuming that when kvoicecontrol starts a process it
should be able to grab the id of the process and pass it back to you as
an int (I may be wrong on the datatype here, don't have my books handy)
which you can
Or you can use
killall -HUP processname
This way you do not have to look up the process id with ps -ef each time
you want to kill something like inetd or other process where you already
know the name.
