i am about to program a kind of http server that should run from a

as i understand, i can have it in a loop and it can respond listen

but i was asking me how can i tell the running program to quit
gracefully?
i thought about implementing a special command from over TCP also,
but i do think this is not very secure. i only want to allow to
quit from the same computer.
solution should run cross-platform.
No problem. Set up a socket to listen on a second port designated
for administration. Only accept connections from localhost. I
implemented just such a scheme and it works quite well.
