Re: terminate a daemon from my interface

["Thomas Keaney" <se40319 cs may ie>]

Its an interface I coded using GTK to grab data from a file and write to the
output file. The GUI consists of buttons and a clist. Im using g_spawn_async
in order to run the daemon from my interface. I then want to be able to
terminate the daemon when I click on a button from my interface. But when I
do so it is terminating my user interface as well.
