This is something I have dealt with many times... please allow me

The way I did it was to create a global named event and signal it when I
want the server application to stop accepting connections. Another event is
signaled when an immediate stop is required which forces all open sockets to
close as well as rejecting new connections. As long as the first event is
signaled new connections are rejected, and when the second event is signaled
the application will terminate after closing all sockets. The rationale is
that server file maintenance can be done with the first event and a full
shutdown can be done with the second event. When the first event is reset
then the application will again accept new connections.
