how to stop script i can't see?
by babag from LinuxQuestions.org on (#50104)
i have a script i'd like to run by clicking a desktop icon. i can get it to run but can't figure out how to stop it.
the script configures a second keyboard to use its keys for macros. for some time i've used this script from a terminal but would like the convenience of a clickable icon. when i run it from a terminal, i can see the terminal and simply hit ctl-c to stop the running script when done with my work. when i've tried running the script from an icon i have no terminal in which to type ctl-c. how do i stop the script in this scenario?
thanks,
