The purpose of the second process is to delete the "flag" file, then stop.
The long running process will then stop when it detects that the flag file
is NOT existing...
Adding a FileExists probably slows down the whole thing a bit, but you
could do it every 100 iterations or so, depending on how granular of
control you want in your script abort...
