Actually the problem with the scripting to kill it solution is that the
DiskManagementTool is run as setuid root. We don't build it using root for
security reasons. Therefore it would require intervention to kill the
process.

Why not kill DiskManagementTool automatically from your build script? Some
precautions should be of course taken, such as giving it some time to finish
whatever it is doing, and checking if it indeed was launched from the same
login session.
