Need to kill process (Application) in C++

Dear all,

I am developing an application in Linux for a Debian based device (Nokia N810). But in the device when exiting from the application still it is showing that the application is still run capturing the CPU. So i need to kill the process (My application) manually when exiting from the application.

Any suggestion or help?

This is a strange situation. Assuming that the device you're running on behaves like a normal CPU, exiting the program _should_ kill it as well. Are you forking at any point or creating new threads? These can potentially live on after the original process/thread quits.
