Re: Send break to screen

@Jostein Berntsen

You were so close. I started playing around with the "stuff" command you
recommended and started to see a pattern forming. I eventually came to the
idea of removed the single quotes around your suggestion 'stuff " "' and
just used -X stuff "^C" and it worked.

Thank you. I got it working now with -X stuff "^C"
No need to mess around with PID and process killing now.

Thank you everyone for your help.
