how do I terminate a pkexec tprocess?

[Michael Collier]

I tried using pkexec within tprocess to execute a program that runs in an infinite loop, and when I try to terminate the process i.e. Proc.terminate(-1) it doesn't seem to stop.

If I leave out the pkexec then I can terminate. I'm new to pkexec, have I missed something? I'm guessing that I don't have enough privilege to terminate?

I can kill the process from a terminal using sudo killall <application_name>, so I could use another tprocess object to close my first tprocess (I guess..), but this is getting messy..??

.. this seems to help,

pkexec -u <my_username> <my_sudo_application>

Try TAsyncProcess. For example if you have the GUI blocked during execution.
You can try to kill the process in the event OnReadData() or elsewhere too.
