Graceful shutdown ? #189

Don't really show anything like: Gracefully shutdown server, change accessories (e.g. add something, or remove something), Start the server back up.

resetting the server is a bit brutal as the pairing needs to be done. Is it possible to stop the server gracefully, change config and start it back up ?

What people usually do is storing updated config and rebooting the whole accessory. On boot it reads stored configuration and configures all new services.

I wanted to avoid just shutting down, but if that is the only way to properly restart the server then i will do that. I just wanted to make sure there was no other option

@maximkulkin What would be the necessary steps to archive a 'graceful' shutdown ? Would throwing the server out of its main loop and letting it deallocate everything before starting it back up work ?
