Option to Quit Serviio Server

I've suggested this before but here goes again.
On my MacPro Desktop Serviio server is still a process even after stopping it using the Console.
So If I want to re-boot the Mac, e.g. because Software Update wants me to do so before or after installing an update, then Serviio refuses to quit when asked to by the OS. There are of course other reasons to re-boot.
So I have to remember to use Activity Monitor to Force Quit the Serviio process. This is a harsh way to behave IMHO.
A simple option on the Console to Stop & Quit would be much more elegant. And how hard can it be to implement that?

So right click on the console system tray and Exit Serviio doesn't work for you?

(MacOS Lion 10.7.5) OK here's my try at clarifying what I mean.
The Serviio-Console app can be quit either by the usual method of Cmd-Q or your suggestion of Ctl- and then select Quit from the popup window.
But that is not what I was referring to. I mean the Serviio server process that shows up in Activity Monitor.
That process will persist even after the Console is Quit. It has the unfortunate side effect of not allowing a Restart or Shutdown of the MacOS.
It has to be Force Quit which is a rather harsh way to terminate a process.
Hope I've clarified things so that we are both on the same page.
If not please let me know. Thanks for your good work on this project.

Via the console, do you select Exit Serviio or Exit Serviio Console?

I don't know how to insert an image of the screen when I do Ctl-click a.k.a. Right-Click for Mac.
Can send it to you by email if you wish.
I just get a pop-up window and it does not show either of those Exit choices you asked about.
I only see Serviio console 1.2.1, Options>, Show all windows, Hide, Quit.
If I mouse over the Options I see Keep in Dock, Open at login, Show in Finder
that's all. What must I be doing wrong to not see your Exit items?

When you start the console, it'll add Serviio icon to the system tray area (top right on Mac). Right click on that icon (not the icon in the dock at the bottom) to get the option.

Thank you for guiding me. My confusion lay in the terminology.
On Mac it is referred to as the status area on the menu bar.
It is as you said....

The icon has been removed in 1.3. You can right click on the dock console icon instead now.
