kill_on_drop only runs when the plugin unwinds. Killed outright, it left nvidia-smi --loop-ms running for good on Windows. nvidia-smi now runs in a job object with KILL_ON_JOB_CLOSE, whose handle Windows closes with the plugin process.

On Windows, a plugin ended outright (the host killed, a console closed,
taskkill /F) left itsnvidia-smi --loop-ms=1000running for good:kill_on_droponly runs when the plugin unwinds, and nvidia-smi keeps going after its stdout pipe closes. On Linux the closed pipe ends it, so this is Windows only.nvidia-smi now runs in a job object created with
JOB_OBJECT_LIMIT_KILL_ON_JOB_CLOSE. The plugin holds the only handle to it while it samples, and Windows closes that handle whichever way the plugin ends, which ends nvidia-smi. If the job cannot be created or assigned, sampling goes on as before and the plugin says nvidia-smi may outlive it.windows-sys0.61 was already in the lockfile through tokio.Checked:
taskkill /Fwhile the node runs: its nvidia-smi was gone 0.3 s later, and the host's restarted plugin started its own
