The bug that I'm working on at the moment is : when we start the first attack, it's working with fork but when we pause/resume attack, the first .rec file is okay but all others from the other processes are locked. I guess ALL .rec files from the fork are important, right ?

I appreciate that you didn't wait for too long to get your hands dirty on the next task. Thanks!
QProcess::terminate() kills the process using SIGTERM on *nix.
Console(bash at least) kills processes with SIGINT upon Ctrl-c. Maybe that's worth investigating, see if JtR handles them differently.
You can kill a process with QProcess::kill(), though not recommended unless it's the last resort.
Besides those two options, explicitly signaling with POSIX kill() is not much of an option for portability reasons(we exclude native build on Windows at least).
Maybe also verify which code paths does JtR take in regards to sending 'q' and SIGINT.
