The image for that service is based on a Squeak3.9-final-7067.image I think
that the one right?

I didn't tried those. Perhaps I will but right now I was trying to not make
it manually. I have a script to start and stop the service. For stop I can
send a SIGTERM or a SIGQUIT. With OSProcess I have in the image aProductor
object that catches the OS signals and quit the image with or without saving
depending on the signal sent.

Right now I'm not counting with an image save of this kind. I use
ImageSegments for that. Right now I'm thinking about it as a guarantee of
the stability of the service/image.

It could be an interesting feature anyway.
