If you look in your server logs from when it was running 4.0.1, at
shutdown you probably saw an fatal error being logged. If so, I suspect
you were taking "advantage" of SF Bug #1029918:
http://aolserver.com/sf/bug/1029918
The note from the ChangeLog:
2004-09-17 Dossy Shiobara <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* nsd/driver.c (1.17.2.9): "stopped" already initalized to 1, which
means NsWaitDriversShutdown() will never timeout even when it
should, which means trigPipe always gets closed immediately which
causes DriverThread to Ns_Fatal() on line 848. Closes SF Bug
#1029918.
So, now your server really will wait until the shutdown timeout (default
20 seconds) before giving up and tearing down the server.
I've filed RFE #1029889 that will introduce [ns_info shutdownpending] so
that Tcl scripts, such as scheduled procs and other background threads
can detect that the server is shutting down, and exit/clean up as
appropriate. Of course, this means that those background threads will
need to be modified to periodically test [ns_info shutdownpending] and
if it returns "true", to exit gracefully.

Hope this helps,
