Best way to cleanly stop a process I started

Hi,

Trying to launch a number of processes from a CE 6.0 app. This is really
because CE doesn't support 'services' and I need to create some
'service-type' processes.

No problem to create them, but IF they are created with no console window
(or GUI), how should I cleanly close them again. Obviously I need to shut
them down if my main app needs to stop.

Seems that Kill is the only way ?? - other than writing my own code to
signal the process and tell it to shut down ??.

Am I missing some inter-process mechanism thats already built-in ??.

Thanks

Regards

Graham
