How can I stop async Process by CancellationToken?

Question

I found beneath code for execute some process without freezing UI. This code is executed when 'Start Work' button is pressed. And I think users would stop this work by 'Stop' button. So I found this article at MSDN.. https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj155759.aspx . But, It was hard that applying this CancellationToken at this code.. Anyone can help this problem?

I use public static async Task<int> RunProcessAsync(string fileName, string args) method only.

Code (From https://stackoverflow.com/a/31492250):

public static async Task<int> RunProcessAsync(string fileName, string args)
{
    using (var process = new Process
    {
        StartInfo =
        {
            FileName = fileName, Arguments = args,
            UseShellExecute = false, CreateNoWindow = true,
            RedirectStandardOutput = true, RedirectStandardError = true
        },
        EnableRaisingEvents = true
    })
    {
        return await RunProcessAsync(process).ConfigureAwait(false);
    }
}

// This method is used only for internal function call.
private static Task<int> RunProcessAsync(Process process)
{
    var tcs = new TaskCompletionSource<int>();

    process.Exited += (s, ea) => tcs.SetResult(process.ExitCode);
    process.OutputDataReceived += (s, ea) => Console.WriteLine(ea.Data);
    process.ErrorDataReceived += (s, ea) => Console.WriteLine("ERR: " + ea.Data);

    bool started = process.Start();
    if (!started)
    {
        //you may allow for the process to be re-used (started = false) 
        //but I'm not sure about the guarantees of the Exited event in such a case
        throw new InvalidOperationException("Could not start process: " + process);
    }

    process.BeginOutputReadLine();
    process.BeginErrorReadLine();

    return tcs.Task;
}

Usage :

var cancelToken = new CancellationTokenSource();
int returnCode = async RunProcessAsync("python.exe", "foo.py", cancelToken.Token);
if (cancelToken.IsCancellationRequested) { /* something */ }

When the start button clicked, it starts some python script. When script is running and user wants to stop it, user presses stop button. Then program executes below code.

cancelToken.Cancel();

Thank you very much for reading this question.

It's quite simple now:

process.WaitForExitAsync(token);
