The backend cgi script (python > script) will have to send Ctrl-C to break the program. Actually, you don't want to send a Ctrl-C to the program. You want to send a SIGINT signal to the process. That's what the tty line-discipline layer in the tty driver sends to processes attached to a tty when the tty receives the interrupt character (which defaults to Ctrl-C). Sending signals to processes is done using os.kill() http://docs.python.org/lib/os-process.html -- Grant Edwards grante Yow!
