Re: Killing a running process

  pid $channel

gives you the process ids of the processes in the pipe.

Typically you would use this list and attach it to a button, eg.
   set fd [open "|..."]
   set pids [pid $fd]
   button .b -text {Stop} -command [list stop_processes $pids]

You will then have to use a system-dependend means to kill those
processes in 'stop_processes'. On Unix you could use
   exec kill $pid

IIRC TclX also has a kill proc which works on Windows and Unix
