OpenOCD doesn't get killed when terminating debugging while target running

[DeqingSun]

When terminating debugging while target running, OpenOCD won't get killed. So VScode will not debug again unless I do "pkill openocd" in another terminal.

Here us debug console output

Terminating debugging while target running

C disconnect: {"restart":false}

Terminating debugging while target is halted in a breakpoint

Running into this same problem, just to add visibility.

I got same problem. input "-exec monitor shutdown" then you can shutdown openocd from gdb. unfortunately gdb down, too. you have to restart debug mode manually.
