However, if things don't work fine, the background process sticks around

I'd like to end my main script by killing the background process (if
it's still around), but I'm having a helluva time figuring out HOW.
How about:
$ killall <progname>
Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, "killall" is not part of my Cygwin
installation - and I don't see which package contains it.
However, I may have solved my problem with this lovely mess:
kill $!
kill `ps | grep ocdremote | tr -s " " | cut -f2 -d " "`
The first "kill" stops the background bash process. The second stops
the utility in question. Not as elegant as I'd hoped, but it seems to
do the trick.
