What signal do they use to kill the processes?  Unless it's one of the 
"uncatchable" signals, it should be "fine".  (At least in the sense that 
filePro will attempt to cleanly exit -- closing files, cleaning up 
lockfiles, releasing licenses, etc.  If your situation wouldn't handle a 
Ctrl-\ exit, then it wouldn't handle this, either.)
