about shutting down Trainz

I noticed that after closing Trainz22PE, in Task Manager, it took another 30 seconds for the application in the background to close.

I seem to remember back before TANE, perhaps as far back as TRS2004, that there was a setting that could be added in Trainz to place an icon in the Windows Task Bar while the background process was active and remove it once it was finished. This helped prevent any background process from being interrupted and triggering a database rebuild..

Anyone remember what it was and where it was used? And could it still work in current versions?
 
That was in TS12 where we could see the consoles for Trainz daemon operation. When that closed, it was safe to shut down. Unfortunately, that doesn't exist with T:ANE and up.

I press CTRL+SHIFT+ESC and check Task Manager. If I don't see Trainz in the app section on the top or in running processes list, I know it's safe to shutdown.
