Kill a process

I am using ipcBeginProcess() to start a Perl script from inside an Allegro Skill script (Allegro Skill script is invoked automatically when design is opened - by the way of axlTriggerSet).

Now when I open another design from inside Allegro using File > Open then (since I am using axlTriggerSet) it invokes the Perl script again i.e. 2nd time which is not desirable. What can I do so that the perl script closes when new design is opened i.e. original design is closed? I was thinking of using axlTriggerSet() for design close but since the Allegro skill script invokes perl (i.e. another process) I am not sure how to do this. Any ideas?

Thanks for help!

I would define a global variable with the returned value of the ipcBeginProcess. When a new trigger occurs check if this variable is already set, and if so kill it with ipcKillProcess(<variable>)
