What concerns a WM_QUIT: you need a window handle for this, and you
don't have that in e.g. a command-line program or service.
Perhaps there is a way to query the "main window" for a process, if any ?
If you want a more 'friendly' way, I think we should add a call
'TryTerminate(Timeout : Integer)' or something, which tries to
send a WM_QUIT on windows and which sends a TERM on Linux; after
TimeOut milliseconds it should probe to see whether the process
actually stopped.
Probably you want the call to return as soon as possible, not always
after Timeout ? Also, there should be async way, perhaps when Timeout = 0.
