There is at least one bug open for that. Can you push a change on gerrit so we can start the review/discussion?

Hi,

I’m seeing some issues with extcap on linux and osx. If I run udpdump and stop it again the udp process is not 
terminated. If I start udpdump once again I will have two udpdump processes running on my system. I’ve tested this on 
v2.4.5 and v3.2.1.

Looking though the code I cannot find any places in extcap.c where the dumper is terminated, but for Windows it seems 
that the dumper process is terminated in extcap.c:1142.

I’ve attached a patch which seems to solve the issue, but I’m not quite sure it’s the right thing to do.

Best regards
Anders
