SUMMARY
indi server is not properly stopped when stoping from Ekos.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Kstars
2. Open Ekos
3. Select a profile on Ekos Setup tab.
3bis. The profile has the "Auto connect" flag activated and the "Port
selector" flag deactivated.
4. Start the profile by pressing the Start button on the Ekos Setup tab.
5. Wait for all devices to connect and get ready. Open the INDI window to check
if all of them have started. In fact it is not necessary to wait for them to
proceed to next step.
6. Disconnect from devices using Disconnect button on Ekos Setup tab.
7. Stop the profile by pressing the Stop button on the Ekos Setup tab.
8. Start the profile by pressing the Start button on the Ekos Setup tab.
OBSERVED RESULT
A dialog shows that there is an instance of indi server already running:

After clicking on the OK button, a new message shows, showing a communication
problem with the indi server:

The indi-server process and all the drivers in the profile are not stopped.
Even after closing Ekos, the process are running.
$ pgrep -laf indi
18049 /Applications/kstars.app/Contents/MacOS/indiserver -v -p 7624 -m 1024 -r
0 -f /tmp/indififod912e66a
18050 indi_snapcap
18051 indi_simulator_ccd
18052 indi_rolloffino
18053 indi_simulator_telescope
EXPECTED RESULT
The indi server process and all the drivers in the profile are stopped.
Pressing the Start button on the Ekos Setup tab should start the indi server
and all the drivers in the profile. The INDI control window should show the
status of the drivers.
