terminating clisp: clisp.exe vs lisp.exe

[Anton V. <avo...@ya...>]

Hello.

My program starts clisp as a child process to do some work.
Sometimes this work may hang.

In this case I would like to kill the child lisp process.

clisp.exe starts another process, lisp.exe which, as I understand,
preforms all the job.

It's not trivial to even get process id of lisp.exe.

What are my options to reliable kill started CLISP?
Is it possible to start CLISP in a way that it consists only of one process?

I am curious btw, what is the role of CLISP separation into lisp.exe and
clisp.exe?

Best regards,
Anton
