I recommend running it on an operating system that has a way for  
process X to send process Y a "please clean up and exit" indication,  
and delivering that indication. :-)

I know all flavors of UN*X support that (sending the process a SIGTERM  
is the way to deliver such an indication); is there any such mechanism  
in Windows?
