I've used both pgrep and pkill from another terminal session.  I can get
the PID of play_vk and play simply with:

$ pgrep -a play
162927 /bin/sh ./play_vk /home/nate/logs/wav/N0N/kqp/F1.wav
162928 play /home/nate/logs/wav/N0N/kqp/F1.wav -q

and:

$ pkill -SIGTERM play_vk

kills the script immediately.  So all of this works manually, just not
from inside Tlf (of course the PID changes with each call, etc.).
