Problem Stopping A Service

[John Abel]

Hi!

I've written a service, which installs OK, and runs OK.  The SvcDoRun 
doesn't do a lot, it basically runs a SimpleHTTPServer (I'm not using 
the serve_forever).  The problem comes when I want to stop the service. 
  I seem the have to make a HTTP request, after issuing the stop for the 
service to actually stop.  I have a win32event.WaitForSingleObject, with 
a timeout of 100ms, and I think this is where the problem lies.

Has anyone any ideas of what an ideal timeout would be?  Or, does my 
problem lie elsewhere?

Thanks

John
