Hi! Sorry for the long subject.
My problem is: I have two types of situations that worry me:1) A maintenance app that is running on the server, with no user interaction. It just seats there, in an infinite loop, doing stuff that need to be done.
2) A normal app that sometimes launches a background thread to process some stuff. The ideia is that the user submits data, but the data processing may take some time (30 seconds, for example). What I want is to send the "OK, great, it's done" page to the user, terminate the session, and process his data in the background before saving it.
My question is: how can I terminate this apps safely? When we are talking about sessions, we have the "Refuse new sessions" option, that will hold the app until no more active sessions exist. This will terminate apps safely, without discarding data. How to do this with background threads? How can I tell WO "do not terminate the app until this thread is over or this method is done"?
