Subject: Re: Thread popen and broken pipe problem

Found it,
when io is set after popen use, it's easy to get the process ID and
then to correctly kill it during its execution.


#get the process id

            IO.popen(cmd){ |pipe|
              current_process = pipe.id # Saving the PID
              pipe.each_line {|l|
                  puts l
              }

#kill the process

           Process.kill("KILL", current_process)

et voila.
