Is it possible to interrupt a running task with ctrl+c ?

It should be. What happens currently? (and what terminal pgm are you using?)

I tried this on my Ubuntu box:

cash $ cat /dev/zero

Several ^C's couldn't stop it. It froze up my machine, so I couldn't even issue an external kill command, so I had to reboot. ^C does the trick on Bash though.

I tried grunt which started a server.

Several ^Cdid nothing at all while on a normal cmd prompt (on Windows 10) it allows me to stop the server.

Note that Ctrl+Breakwill be detected but will not only kill current running process but also kill cash (on Windows both shortcuts are supposed to kill current running process: CTRL+C and CTRL+BREAK Signals), returning to default CMD prompt.

Over all, good job guys! I'm excited to see where this goes.
