In such situations, I guess you'd normally use select to not let the 
accept task block in accept. You can then either have select use a 
timeout and check a flag (but that might be polling accept as you wrote) 
or use a (loopback) socket that is only used to send a shutdown flag:

The accept thread then waits on the accept-socket and the 
loopback-socket, it will get woken up when you send the shutdown flag to 
the loopback-socket.
