As Simon wrote. However, what if you want to really quit Azureus?  The
moment you click on exit it will start again! (Or you need to be very
fast and hit CTRL+C several times from the shell which will terminate
the application, which, by the way, is not a normal clean exit.) Here's
a trick I've been using for sometime:
        
        while [ -e ~/azureus_work ]; do azureus; sleep 1s; done

You have to create a file called "azureus_work" in your home directory.
Whenever you want to quit Azureus normally, just delete that file and
then exit the application.

Ziyad.
