Well, I tried your suggestion, but no dice. The problem is that the system command I'm calling, immediately forks several other processes which actually do the work; the initial process seems to be just a dummy. But I can't get the PIDs of those child processes, so I can't kill them from inside the program. In fact, the os.kill() method doesn't even seem to work on the initial, dummy process. I don't think this route is going to pan out. Thanks anyway, though.

However, as I said previously, if I physically go into the terminal window and hit Ctrl-C, the interrupt signal works. What I need is some way to do that from inside my program; that is, to send the interrupt signal directly to the controlling terminal. Any ideas?
