How to forcibly abort a command in a terminal window?
The problem occurred when using cp to copy contents of one
partition to another.
I realized I had miss-specified options. As data was multiple GB
and target was a USB connected flash drive I wished an immediate
termination.
Cntl-C had no apparent result.
Closing terminal window apparently did not abort operation - as
indicated by activity light on flash drive continuing to blink.
Unmounting device worked.
It seems there should be a better option?
TIA
