I have setup a run configuration in Eclipse and need to send SIGINT (Ctrl+C) to the program. There is cleanup code in the program that runs after SIGINT, so pressing Eclipse's "Terminate" buttons won't work (they send SIGKILL I think). Typing CTRL+C into the Console also doesn't work.
How do I send SIGINT to a process running inside an Eclipse Console?
(FWIW I am running a Twisted daemon and need Twisted to shutdown correctly, which only occurs on SIGINT)
If you can determine the process with a utility such as ps, you can use kill to send it a SIGINT. The program will likely be a child process of eclipse.
kill -s INT <pid>
You can send the command via one line:
kill -SIGINT $(ps aux | grep ProgrammName | grep -v grep | awk '{print $2}')
Get the process id and than send the sigint signal
That still seems to be an open issue:

Just for the sake of completeness: If you came here to find a way to terminate a read line from System.in
,
Ctrl + Z worked for me (on Windows).
