Thank you both for your suggestions. One problem I'm having now is that sometimes a file will hang cURL, and while the other subprocesses finish there might be one or two that hang up. In this case I'd like to have some kind of granular control over killing individual items without necessarily killing the whole thread. I'd be afraid to kill the entire thread as it may not be finished processing legitimate cURL processes when you send the kill switch. Thoughts?
