Read an input and kill a process

[expandables]

Hi i have a script that executes omxplayer at boot which plays a sound.

Code: Select all

cronjob @reboot 

I want the script be able to when i click the enter button kill omxplayer process. Can anybody tell me what i am doing wrong please thanks.

Code: Select all

omxplayer /home/pi/.bootup/shine.mp3
    then
   read -p "Press the [Enter] key to stop omxplayer."
   sudo killall /usr/bin/omxplayer.bin

You Problem Program runs in backround and hasn't
got access the terminal and therefore can't read keypresses.
