Maybe I’m mis-understanding your question.

When I logout of Windows, pyInstaller leaves a temporary folder behind.

In the process of trying to investigate why...

When I use the ‘rmtool’ to just send the ‘logout’ signal to the child alone, it 
handles it and exits cleanly.

When I use the ‘rmtool’ to just send the ‘logout’ signal the parent, it ignores 
it.

(When I use the ‘rmtool’ to send the ‘logout’ signal to both processes, both 
seem to immediately ignore it.  This may be just be an artefact of the tool 
tho.)

If I’m understanding you correctly, you’re asking why (or if) my child process 
isn’t handling the logout event/signal cleanly, right?, thus exiting and 
letting the parent process do its job of cleaning up?

It's the parent process, which I believe is waiting around for the child to die 
before cleaning up the temporary folder, which ignores the signal.

  Did I mis-understand something?

This sound correct for me. But again: What hinders you sending the signal to 
the child-process?
