The terminal ain't the same as dd, you should have sent the signal to dd instead. pidof dd woudl have given you all the pid's of running dd's on your system. > then I did (in another terminal, taking note it was assigned a higher PID) > > "sudo kill -SIGUSR1 44356" > the 44356 was original Terminal PID containing dd And then you get the terminal react on the kill, not dd, it's like you are supposed to slice a piece of an apple but instead you slice a piece of the orange. > a part from that : the disk activity kept going on as if there was a > parentless process still alive in back ground (which I had no way to > abort, not having any longer a window to receive some CTRL+C to cancel, > and did not show up in process manager to be manually terminated).

If you want to see the ps output nested, then use the f flag, but as you already know which program you want to affect, then pidof is faster to use. -- //Aho
