For what it's worth, on Linux the caRepeater process runs as a child process of for example camonitor.
Start first camonitor, and it starts a caRepeater.
End that camonitor via Ctrl-C, and the child caRepeater process also quits.

But that is not true for all CA processes.   `caget  XXX` will start caRepeater if it is not running, and caRepeater will not quit when caget exits normally.  
If the camonitor process is killed with `kill -9 PID`, the caReapeter it has launched will remain running.

Is there a similar child/parent process hierarchy on windows?
Do those different cases that you see result in the same child process tree?
That might determine how/where/under which name the caRepeater shows up in task listings.
