I suppose there is a command to gracefully kill any running gnucash instance so it does not hit a lock file? Of course, even with auto save, with a kill, you have to clean up the lock file, and the file may lose uncommitted transactions! It'd be nicer for the running instance to run it at an appropriate time. I shut down my instance and gave it a try from a WinDOS command line, but something goes wrong:
