Yes, I intend it to be seamless if at all possible.  I'll keep it in
mind for future use.  :)

Could your stop.exe return an errorcode of 2 (or some other value than
0 for success and 1 for fail) telling us if the node was running or
not?
0 sucess
1 fail error
2 node wasn't running

Then we can call stop.exe regardless and use the result to determine
if we should start the node after update.
