I just realized that zsnes might not have lirc support. In that case,  
you need to do what the other person suggested. Write a script to  
check to see if it's running and kill it if it is and then use irexec  
to execute the script when a key is pressed:

begin
prog = irexec
button = Exit #(or whatever key on the remote you want)
config = /usr/local/bin/killzsnes.sh
end

Then make sure irexec is runs at startup and your killzsnes.sh script  
does what you want.
