It nicely asks the program to terminate and the program is supposed to write down it’s data and do what it needs to do when signaled like that. You’d need to attach a ‘-9’ to kill it without warning. (Even if the command is called ‘kill’.)
Sure,
if GUI apps don’t handle it they just keep running. It’s just asking them to terminate.[Edit: I’ll try that](We could just have a look at the code of GQRX in specific or just try it.)
