I am familiar with the use of CTRL-C to stop a Python program that is running in an IDLE window.
However, I have a Pi that is running a Python 3 Program as soon as the Pi is powered up, controlled by cron.

Is there any way of stopping this (cron controlled) program temporarily whilst I make some changes to it.

Use the either the kill or killall command.

Ha Ha, very subtle. Google is now fixed!

Code: Select all

killall python3

does just what I wanted from the Terminal Window.
Thanks again,
