Hi,

I have an application, that uses vibe as an embedded webserver, but at
the same time does some traditional spawn/spawnLinked work.
I am having problems shutting down the system in a controlled manner.
e.g. vibe catches ctrl-c and shuts down the eventloop, but how can I add
to this hook, to shutdown my own thread?
I found some old newsgroup posts that seemed to use module initializer,
perhaps you could go into more detail?

Thanks in advance,
Christian

From my application:
app.d

shared static ~this() // called on exit
{
	import core.memory;
	
	if(webInterface !is null)
		webInterface.destruct(); // call destruction routine

	GC.collect(); // reduce noice in Valgrind report
	GC.minimize();// omit if you don't use it
}

In the destruction routine, I send exit message to each background task and wait until they exit, something like this:

    myTask.send(ExitMessage());
    myTask.join;
