sending control c in the loop
I want to go through the list of items and run it.
while running it, some of them will have either
>there is no response # and then end it... so that it can go to next item
OR
>there is response # but in order to break out of it, u need to do Control c.
How do you send control c within loop?
Please help.
thanks.

systemstarter
SystemStarter(8) BSD System Manager's Manual SystemStarter(8)
NAME
SystemStarter -- Start, stop, and restart system services
SYNOPSIS
SystemStarter [-gvxdDqn] [action [service]]
DESCRIPTION
The SystemStarter utility may be used to start, stop, and restart the system services which are described in the /Library/StartupItems/ and
/System/Library/StartupItems/ paths.
The optional action argument specifies which action SystemStarter performs on the startup items. The optional service argument specifies
which startup items to perform the action on. If no service is specified, all startup items will be acted on; otherwise, only the item pro-
viding the service, any items it requires, or any items that depend on it will be acted on.
During boot SystemStarter is invoked by rc (see rc(8)) and is responsible for starting all startup items in an order that satisfies each
item's requirements.
ACTIONS
start start all items, or start the item that provides the specified service and all items providing services it requires.
stop stop all items, or stop the item that provides the specified service and all items that depend on it.
restart restart all items, or restart the item providing the specified service.
OPTIONS
-g graphical startup
-v verbose (text mode) startup
-x safe mode startup (only run Apple-provided items)
-r keep running after last startup item completes, in graphical startup only
-d print debugging output
-D print debugging output and dependencies
-q be quiet (disable debugging output)
-n don't actually perform action on items (no-run mode)
NOTES
Unless an explicit call to ConsoleMessage is made, SystemStarter examines the exit status of the startup item scripts to determine the suc-
cess or failure of the services provided by that script.
In Darwin it is preferable to create custom startup items than to modify rc, and at some point SystemStarter may entirely encompass the role
of rc.
FILES
/Library/StartupItems/ User-installed startup items.
/System/Library/StartupItems/ System-provided startup items.
