I think they should work out the same result. But the shutdown tool is
"cleaner" than killing the proces (what closing the shell window actually
does). So there might be the possibility that closing the dos window might
break somethin in PyDS - the shutdown tool just triggers normal shutdown and
so PyDS get's the chance to orderly close everything and complete running
actions.

Actually the preferred way was to use the pyds-stop script, that just sends
a SIGTERM to the running PyDS instance, so closing the DOS window shouldn't
do too much harm ;-)
