In another thread Barbara Nitz wrote "If TCPIP services are needed for
successful shutdown [of a vendor product], then the product MUST be shutdown
before TCPIP services go away." I admit to having given little thought (so
far -- it's fairly early in the design process) to this issue.

Is there a way to do that other than documentation and/or suggesting the use
of an automation product? (Not that there's anything wrong with
documentation and automation.)

Programming-wise, we should make sure that STOP never gets us into a stupid
"waiting for TCP/IP to come up" situation. Other than that sort of thing, is
there anything else we should be doing relative to shutdown and
dependencies?
