The problem with terminating the processes is: • sometimes they don't respond to control-c, and need a kill -9 • or sometimes that doesn't work, maybe the os is messed up • or sometimes the developer might run two instances simultaneously, forgetting that one was already running
You're right that usually I can shut them both down with control-c, but I need a safeguard. My application spends money on mechanical turk and I'll spend erroneous money and upset my users if it goes wrong by accident.
