How can I terminate TestStand without requiring user input?

Question

I want to completely terminate TestStand and any running sequences. Engine.ShutDown seems to have a delay waiting for user input. Is there a function call that disregards this delay and immediately either kills all sequences or unloads them and kills TestStand?
I am trying to do this in C++.

To BMas05 -
Yes if you set,
Setting: "Exiting"
Condition: "When Executing"
Time Limit: "2"
Action: "Terminate Execution"
On shutdown, if an execution is running for more than 2 seconds after shutdown is initiated, TestStand will attempt to terminate the execution.
Now if you wanted to escalate terminations that take too long you could additionally set,
Setting: "Exiting"
Condition: "When Terminating"
Time Limit: "4"
Action: "Abort Execution"
So now on shutdown, if an execution is terminating for more than 4 seconds after termination is initiated on shutdown, TestStand will attempt to abort the execution.
Now if you wanted to escalate aborting executions
that take too long you could additionally set,
Setting: "Exiting"
Condition: "When Aborting"
Time Limit: "6"
Action: "Kill the Execution's Thread's"
So now on shutdown, if an execution is aborting(typically unresponsive) for more than 6 seconds after abort is initiated, TestStand will attempt to kill the unresponsive thread.
