No this is on windows. We issue a terminate process command for the
process id.

I assume you're using some sort of Unix?  In that case, SIGTERM (15), 
SIGINT (2) and SIGHUP (1) are caught and should result in a graceful 
shutdown of tshark.  A SIGKILL (9) is not catchable and forces tshark to

quit immediately.  Which are you using?
