We're stopping it by killing the tshark process through a kill command

which I would think is not graceful. How do you recommend killing tshark

programmatically?

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?
