If this is something you need to do as a regular course of business, I'd
share a Queue between the main thread and the target thread. When you want
it to exit, shoot it a command to do so over the queue. If it's a worker
thread of some sort, set it as a daemon thread. When your main thread exits
and there are no other non-daemon threads alive, the program will exit.
