When I type ! in dired-mode on a directory and type then 'ls -lR <RET>' 
I can stop this recursive listing with C-g.

When I do 'M-x shell-command <RET> ls -lR <RET>' I can stop this too 
with C-g.

This won't work when you make the shell command an asynchronous one, 
one which ends in & and is executed in the background without 
connection to a terminal (tty). This one can only be stopped with 'kill 
<pid>.'
