Description
For long operation (like clonevm) we may want to cancel the operation. Today this doable by sending the SIGINT signal on linux (ctrl+c). However when using vboxmanage in another application, it is standard to send a SIGTERM (for exemple, in Qt this is what QProcess:terminate() do).
But vboxmanage do not handle SIGTERM which result in a abrupt termination
In attachment a simple patch doing this.

I agree. VBoxManage change in r59255. That change will be part of the next 5.0.x maintenance release.

Moreover it would be nice to have a gracefull exit on kill on windows too
