                                proc_terminate

   (PHP 5 CVS only)
   proc_terminate --  kills a process opened by proc_open

Description

   int proc_terminate ( resource process [, int signal])

   Signals a process (created using proc_open()) that it should
   terminate. proc_terminate() returns immediately and does not wait for
   the process to terminate.

   The optional signal is only useful on POSIX operating systems; you may
   specify a signal to send to the process using the kill(2) system call.
   The default is SIGTERM.

   proc_terminate() allows you terminate the process and continue with
   other tasks. You may poll the process (to see if it has stopped yet)
   by using the proc_get_status() function.

   See also proc_open(), proc_close(), and proc_get_status().
