Subject: Thread popen and broken pipe problem

Hello there, I try to execute a list of command in a thread thanks to
popen.
But during command execution user may wants to interrupt / kill the
execution process.
My code looks like that :

      @thread = Thread.new do
        @command_list.each {|name, cmd|
            IO.popen(cmd){ |@pipe|
              pipe.each_line {|l|
                  puts l
              }
            }
        }
      end

But when i try to @thread.kill I have a broken pipe error message on
the current command execution.

How to correctly finish and kill the thread without having such
errors?

thanks.
