Sorry for the many messages, but I've been looking into it further - since I have the server services listening and waiting for incoming connections, how would I interrupt it to let the program know that a stop request has been issued? For example, if I put the stop check before it listens, I would think it'd have to wait until it loops back around after the next client connects. If I put it after the listen, a client would have to connect in order for it to run the check..?
