"exec" returns the numeric process id of the command it started.
You can kill it without side effects by "kill <proc_id>"
start:
-command {set top_id [exec /usr/bin/X11/xterm -e top &]}
stop:
-command {exec kill $top_id}
If you dont have the kill programm you can use bash:
-command {exec /bin/sh -c kill $top_id}
You might want to check if the process is still running before
running the kill command; or you just "catch" the stop button
command.
