@Jostein Berntsen You were so close. I started playing around with the "stuff" command you recommended and started to see a pattern forming. I eventually came to the idea of removed the single quotes around your suggestion 'stuff " "' and just used -X stuff "^C" and it worked.
Thank you. I got it working now with -X stuff "^C" No need to mess around with PID and process killing now. Thank you everyone for your help. - Colin On 26 September 2016 at 18:11, Jostein Berntsen <jber...@broadpark.no> wrote: > On 26.09.16,14:17, Colin Richardson wrote: > >> I am attempting to break a nodejs application that is running in a >> detached >> screen.
