If you look for the "swatch" process after you kill the main surge 
process and then kill it you won't get that error.

We've been running on linux for years and never get that error when we 
kill the "swatch" process after the rest of it.

I always see the “unclean “ message in SurgeMail status after rebooting, unless I manually stop SurgeMail before shutting down the system.
