No, this isn't supported right now.  Maybe in the future.  It would 
require that the management interface essentially be "multi-user".  You 
would need to deal with resource locking and avoid race conditions.

The management interface doesn't close the listening socket when it's 
connected to a client, because then it would need to reopen it after the 
client disconnects, and for various reasons this causes problems 
(especially when privileges have been dropped).

If you want to exit, just close the socket.  If you are using a telnet 
client, there's usually a way to do this (like control-] ).
