    Recycling servers reverts back to graceful (waiting for clients to disconnect) · cebed052
    Rob Swindell authored
    Commit 75c5c9e5 was initially to address server termination (sisue #236), but
    expanded in scope to include server recycling (e.g. due to semaphore/config
    file touch) and that turns out to not be what most sysops want.
    
    If you want an immediate/ungraceful recycle, do a restart (shutdown/stop and
    then start) instead.
    
    Immediate/ungraceful server shutdown/termination is still in effect however.
    
    No change to the "server pause" feature either, so combining pause with
    recycle would be effective to prevent *new* client connections while waiting
    for existing clients to disconnect and allow a recycle to happen.
