Here is a little trick that can help you kill Tye when it doesn't respond to CTRL+C

Sometimes one of my Tye configuration hangs and it doesn't react to my CTRL+Cs.

I noticed that the VSCode extension can still kill the application gracefully so I went into its source code and I found that it sends a DELETE request to the control endpoint.

I tested it on my own computer and it works nicely. I also created a simple Powershell cmdlet and added it to my $PROFILE file

function Stop-Tye {
	[CmdletBinding()]
	param(
		[Parameter(Mandatory = $false)]
		$Port = 8000
	)
	Invoke-RestMethod -Method DELETE -Uri "http://localhost:$Port/api/v1/control"
}

For the Tye team (🤔), the only configuration where Tye hangs pretty regularly is the one that has some dirty tricks to launch an application hosted in IIS Express and a nodejs one.
