Hi!

Trying to kill the keyboard, mgx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx produced:
> of course, you could have the process write its PID to a file then
> use something like kill -9 'cat /path/to/process.pid.file'

... but of course you'd use -TERM or -HUP, not -KILL (== -9) so
the process could close cleanly with no data loss.
