I fixed that in the trunk, so should work.
Anyhow, this presumes client has some sort of shutdown hook installed
that will cleanup the process.
But like said, last resort, and should be avoided (at least for production)

And using system exit in a stop class gives you an error, can't recall
which one (109?). On my phone ATM, can't check.

In which case, why not insist that the StopClass is provided, rather
than defaulting it?

Or, default to "Main" as is done for StartClass?

If anyone wants to use System.exit() they can do so explicitly.
