Thanks Thierry - "kill <process_id>" does indeed give me the desired outcome - the audio duration is now displayed in Finder's "Get Info" window (and is also discovered & displayed by other tools like afinfo and mediainfo). I really appreciate your help!

Hi Phil,

Instead of closing your process,
try to send a SIGINT or SIGQUIT signal to the child process, eg:

kill <process_id>
kill -9 <process_id>

This is just out of my head... HTH

Disclaimer: I know nothing about Sox.

and happy holidays too,

On a Mac I want to 'type' control-C to a process I opened for update. (I'm
using SoX to record some spoken audio, and I want to tell it to end.) How
do I do it?

I found I can just close the process and the audio is preserved in the
output file, but then Finder seems to have no idea what the audio duration
is.

Thanks and happy holidays to all -
