Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Currently the generic module just kills the child on stop. But if the synth is actually a web service it'll continue speaking

Describe the solution you'd like We could add a GenericStopSynth parameter to tell how to stop the synth

Describe alternatives you've considered The generic module could send SIGTERM instead of SIGKILL and the child catch it, but that'd not work with mere curl calls and such

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the generic module's stop mechanism and implement a GenericStopSynth parameter that allows custom stop commands. Study how other modules handle stop signals and consider using SIGTERM as a fallback.
