        Hi,
depending where you distribution installs it:

   $ /usr/libexec/evolution/killev

which is what the 'evolution --force-shutdown` more or less does.

But I do not think it's a good idea to make things overcomplicated when
you've tools which are provided by the application, thus which are
supposed to do things right (and if they do not, then it's a bug and
should be fixed).

That's not accurate. Consider a situation when the GNOME managed to
restart the background processes between the two commands.

Nonetheless, we are far from the original issue. Let's stop discussing
details which are not needed to be learned by the regular users.
