send control-C to a process?

[Phil Davis]

Thanks Thierry - "kill <process_id>" does indeed give me the desired 
outcome - the audio duration is now displayed in Finder's "Get Info" 
window (and is also discovered & displayed by other tools like afinfo 
and mediainfo). I really appreciate your help!
