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. Is there a way to stop the texexec processing from running? (other than opening another shell, finding the pid of the main process and killing that). Hans van der Meer
