I should have been clearer. I started a bunch of crawls in the background,
operating on different sites.

Searching in this forum, I found that I can gracefully pause some or all of
them by creating a hts-pause.lock file a the root of the mirrors:

<http://forum.httrack.com/readmsg/12607/12604/index.html?q=hts-stop>

But it seems that in order to actually kill the crawl, I then have to kill the
httrack processes.

My problem is that I can't tell which httrack process corresponds to which
site, and I don't want to kill all of them.

Is there a way to tell which PID is should kill, or a way to signal httrack to
stop altogether (for example, by creating a file hts-kill.lock or something of
the sort, at the root of the mirror for a given site).

Thx.

Alain
