I wanted to stay away from wrapping it and unfortunately kixforms isn't an option...

I used this process before and srvany would stop the service with grace. I don't quite understand why it's only intermittent now either. Perhaps b/c the looping frequency is shorter? Current loop processing vs. sleeping. Either way I figure it would always beep, but that's definitely not the case.
