Is there a command to close a program with dump?

We thought you meant a coredump. As in, kill the program instantly and save a crash dump -- rather the opposite of politely update files and exit normally! 
For more normal modes of termination you can try SIGTERM, SIGQUIT, SIGINT, SIGHUP. Whether and how it responds to these signals is of course program-dependent, but SIGHUP is often used to cause a daemon to reload config files and/or rotate logfiles. SIGUSR1 might also be useful if your software catches it for any use, it has no preassigned function so software uses it for whatever the programmer pleases.
