Your ffmpeg process will be running in the background I presume. You could use a killall ffmpeg command (assuming only one is ever running) or if you could somehow determine the PID then send it a signal like kill -15 <PID> GL!

The PID can be acquired with `pgrep ffmpeg`. – llogan Oct 08 '17 at 06:17
`exec` runs commands "just like ssh does" FWIW, you're even already using it :) – rogerdpack Oct 08 '17 at 21:49
