Yep, and that's no problem either, but I really want to minimize the length
of time these could sit around on a machine between uses.

I am decrypting a sqlite db to an obscure temp folder on launch. I am doing
this in lieu of being able to use something like sqlcipher with livecode
and my sqlite DB being too large to store in memory.

The DB is only about 250 mb, but still too much to do anything comfortably
in memory or stored in a custom property on the machines this is intended
to run on (Older machines sitting in dealership maintenance departments).

Just trying to get the best of everything shutdown wise. shutdownRequest
responds to SIGTERM's I was hoping there was something equivalent for
SIGKILL or whatever windows is sending the process when exited from the
task manager.

Thanks,

Andrew
