IntroductionCherryPy running as a Windows service can be stopped by Windows events, this is a workaround. DetailsAfter setting up service threads, CherryPy blocks the main thread by sitting in a time.sleep() loop, polling for shutdown. When running as a Windows service (using srvany.exe), this can be broken by a user shutting down a console, which results in a SIGBREAK being sent to all services (?) This can raise an IOError (interrupted system call) in sleep(), which propagates and ends the process. It doesn't seem to be possible to ignore SIGBREAK using either the signal or win32api modules. Currently the workaround I have used is to catch and ignore these errors. The CherryPy bundled with Flax needs to be patched similarly, unless a neater solution can be found. Tom
