How to close a process in win32

[Neil Benn]

Hello,

            I'd make a call between the processes - you can have the 
deamon listen on a port and the GUI app can then send a shutdown message 
onto that port (there are obviously much fancier ways of doing this - I 
just picked the most bread and butter one).  This will allow you to shut 
down your deamon in an organised fashion - I don't know if the terminate 
process functions calls the TerminateProcess function in the win32api 
but it is not a recommended way of closing your process.

   If you wish more info on closing your app in win32 goto -  
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dllproc/base/terminateprocess.asp). 


Cheers,

Neil
