 When I close Tor after a session being started through Tor Browser, I see
 the log:

 {{{
 Mar 11 02:21:08.000 [notice] Owning controller connection has closed --
 exiting now.
 Mar 11 02:21:08.000 [notice] Catching signal TERM, exiting cleanly.
 }}}

 I think there's some operations Tor does in order to close it self
 cleanly.

 I usually run Tor over command line (''**Windows 10**'') through:

 {{{
 cd "C:\Tor Browser\Browser\"
 "C:\Tor Browser\Browser\TorBrowser\Tor\tor.exe" -f "C:\Tor
 Browser\Browser\TorBrowser\Data\Tor\torrc" | more
 }}}

 I just kill the ''tor.exe'' process in order to close it. I don't get
 those two logs.
 How could I close Tor cleanly through command line?
