Description
I don't think this one is environment related.
There's just simply no such thing as a exit API for python scripts, which means I have to use lsof + kill or quit the python parent process to kill the tensorboard.
I just feel like there should be a matching API for launch().

Research direction
Start by locating the Python launch() API and the process-lifecycle code it uses. Determine the matching exit behavior and its expected ownership semantics, then add tests showing that a launched TensorBoard process can be stopped through the Python API without using lsof, kill, or terminating the parent script.
