If this is some daemon program you can't. Perhaps that
should be a daemon.
Just make console client that will read commands from keyboard
and send to your program.
In single threaded client you  can handle ^C if you like in signal handler
without problem.
That can be gui program if you like , but console
one should be enough.
You can implement eg: status, start, pause, quit and so.
For now quit will be just fine, later you can add more commands.
Make one listener thread in your program for such connections
and that's it.
Or just use telnet (this isn't safe though), but you can
restrict connections.
And don't forget to mask SIGINT :)

Greetings, Bane.
