sflow module blocks nginx to do graceful shutdown about nginx-sflow-module HOT 3 CLOSED

Thanks.  I will look at this as soon as possible and let you know when there is 
a fix.

Please try version 0.9.8 (or 'svn update' if you are using subversion).  The 
graceful shutdown was not completing because the sflow module still had a 
timer-tick event pending.  The fix was to ensure that the timer-event is not 
re-armed if the process is shutting down.  Now it shuts down smoothly after the 
timer event has been processed,  so the delay is <= 1 second.

As far as I could tell the only indication the module has that there is a 
shutdown underway is the "ngx_exiting" global variable,  which is referenced 
via src/os/unix/ngx_process_cycle.h included from ngx_core.h.

Thank you for raising this.  Please confirm that it is fixed.

All is good, works like a charm!

Thank you!
