Stopping RealVNC

[Hal Vaughan]

I've asked this before, but never got an answer.

I know that on Linux that once a RealVNC server is running, I can communicate 
with it with vncconfig. It seems that on Windows, I can communicate with the 
running RealVNC server with winvnc4.exe (like telling it to connect with a 
listening system).

What I have not found is a way to get a RealVNC server, on Linux or Windows, 
to exit without killing the process.  On Windows it is possible to do it by 
right clicking on the icon, but neither seems easily stopped from the 
console.  In Linux this is important because each time the server is run and 
killed, the user has to delete lock files to avoid problems with which 
display the server is running.

Is it possible to stop a RealVNC server on Linux from the command line, or any 
other way without "kill -9 $(pidof vncserver)" ?  And is it possible to stop 
a running server on Windows from the console as well?

Thank you for any help on this!
