Instead, I suggest making threads that interact with the module shutdown process into daemon threads by using the "isDaemon" property. These threads are ignored during thread_joinAll() and, left alone, will run until the process ends. Ah OK.. I didn't know about that property. That approach is definitly workable, albeit maybe a little non-obvious. THanks for the quick feedback.
