When I run the CalibreSpy(CS).bat file I get a command line icon and a CS icon on my task bar, which is fair enough. But when I terminate CS I'm left with the command window icon. Would it be possible for CS to kill its parent cmd.exe when it's terminated.

I can't readily kill the parent cmd.exe because if I have several CSs running there's no way fo me to know which cmd.exe instance is the parent of the CS instance I want to terminate, and I might have other unrelated cmd.exe tasks running.

So I have to do it from Task Manager or allow the cmd.exe icons to stack up until I can safely kill them all.
