Is there a way to shut down the BOINC Manager externally.
E.g. with an external command like in a batch file?

For sure there is, e.g. the BOINC installation package is terminating it prior to touching some files etc. in the system.

Yes but the installer runs as Administrator and can do just about anything.
This shuts down the Manager CAShutdownBOINCManager.cpp
Very nasty programming and not recommended. It just ends the process.
This leaves all the allocated memory and resources hanging around.

Very messy solution, not recommended and a reboot is highly recommended.

I will use the Mutex to block the client.exe from running, a lot cleaner.
