In case it helps, Box Backup uses Windows Job Objects <https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/api/winbase/nf-winbase-createjobobjecta> to ensure that any daemons started during a test will automatically be killed when the test process exits (if not stopped cleanly beforehand):
https://github.com/boxbackup/boxbackup/blob/s3_support/infrastructure/buildenv-testmain-template.cpp#L367 On Linux you can use prctl(PR_SET_PDEATHSIG, SIGKILL) in the child process (between fork() and exec()) to achieve this.
