Yeah, adding another running process seems like the only option I have for this (if its important enough case to warrant it).
My livecode standalone is actually a launcher and updater for a node-webkit (http://nwjs.io/) application, so I am already adding extra running processes to the three nw.exe that get put into use by node-webkit via the livecode standalone. (Totaling 4 processes right now.) You could see why I might be hesitant to go down the rabbit hole to a process to manage my manager process. ;) It was just wishful thinking on my part, wasn't sure if there was a message I wasn't privy to that could work like I described.
