Is there anyway to programically quit application?

[ForceConstant]

Once we do manager.start() is there anyway that the application can shut itself down without having to manually do Ctrl-C 2 times?

Not at the moment. The manager is a Thread instance which doesn't have a mechanism to stop it.

Internally, it calls to loop_forever. Adding the mechanism that you mention could be done through either:

• loop_start & loop_stop (but this means changing the Thread "hierarchy" in some way)
• loop (calling it repeatedly and checking for some stop condition).

I think it is a good improvement to include, but I won't be able to work on it for a while now. I am open to PR though 🤷 You can always add some kill mechanism as a workaround, or issuing a exit (which I believe should forcefully terminate the already started threads... I think).

I got it to work by calling manager.client.disconnect() which stops the client loop, and causes manager to stop.
