Stopping the aca-py shell process keeps python process running
This becomes a problem when controlling the aca-py process from another (e.g. Java) process. The aca-py shell process does not need to create another process.
exec [-cl] [-a name] [command [arguments]]
If command is specified, it replaces the shell. No new process is created. The
arguments become the arguments to command. If the -l option is supplied, the shell
places a dash at the beginning of the zeroth argument passed to command. This is
what [login](https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/trusty/en/man1/login.1.html)(1) does. The -c option causes command to be executed with an empty
environment. If -a is supplied, the shell passes name as the zeroth argument to
the executed command. If command cannot be executed for some reason, a non-
interactive shell exits, unless the execfail shell option is enabled. In that
case, it returns failure. An interactive shell returns failure if the file cannot
be executed. If command is not specified, any redirections take effect in the
current shell, and the return status is 0. If there is a redirection error, the
return status is 1.
