[Grok-dev] Execute function when server is shut down

[Hector Blanco]

Yeah... I should've thought about that before sending the mail...
Since the __init__ is only called when I create a new instance of my
server, I should have realized that, in the best case the __del__
method would be called when an instance of the server is removed in
the server control page.

Surprisingly (well... surprisingly for a newbie that doesn't have much
idea about how all that works) that doesn't happen... The __del__
method is not called when I remove an application.

Well... maybe a workaround might be catching the signal send by the
operative system... (just saying... I don't know if that makes much
sense)
