What is the most graceful way to close the bitcoin client software from a shell script?

I ask because I always want to leave the client running in the background, but periodically I will need to automatically close the program and backup the wallet file.

Transactions must be included in a block to be properly completed. When you send a transaction, it is broadcast to miners. Miners can then optionally include it in their next blocks. Miners will be more inclined to include your transaction if it has a higher transaction fee.

You know the client has a command to backup the wallet, right?

How do I call the command to backup the wallet file from an active process? And isn't the backup command only for the daemon, or is it for the GUI version too?

The GUI will accept commands too if run with the "-server" option or if you specify "server=1" in bitcoin.conf. You can then use the "backupwallet" JSON-RPC command to backup the wallet. From the command-line, that would be "bitcoind backupwallet /output/file".
