Even if you could send a break signal, it would go to a new shell that
os.system() invokes...
Perhaps you know or can get the ID of the process you want to signal, a
ctrl-c in a shell is equivalent to a SIGINT sent using os.kill()
Please anyone in the list correct me if there is something I missed or
misunderstand.
