stopping a problematic process.

[peter@easthope.ca]

Suppose 
  strace LooseCannon 
produces 100 k lines of output but the user is primarily 
interested to see the first 1 k lines.  
  strace LooseCannon | head --lines=1000
might work but waste time and resources.  How can the 
process be stopped without losing the strace output and 
before excessive waste?

Thanks,                   ... Peter E.
