Is it possible to sent a ^C interrupt via the command line? For example if I want to tail a log for 10 minutes at a time, kill the tail and then start it again is there a way to go about that? I would imagine there would be some way to do it by finding and killing the PID, but I'm curious if there's another way.

All I want is to be able to do a one liner like:

Code:

while true;do tail -f n2bb.log|grep 0x12|nl;sleep 600;<whatever kills the tail>;done
