I have a fairly hefty tex run, with many intervening metapost figures being made. Running "texmfstart texexec main-file" from a unix shell. When an error occurs, e.g. in the metapost processing, one gives an X to quit that part of tex-processing. However the process goes on and on, because of the many successive invocations. Control-C does not help.
I usually use Control-\ I do not think TeX's exit code distinguishes between your pressing X and aborting the run, or just pressing Enter and continuing the run, Best, Taco
