[Mono-aspnet-list] Stopping fastcgi-mono-server gracefully andwebsite content updating with no need of restarting it.

[Marcelo Zabani]

Hi, I have installed and am now running apache2 with mod_mono. However, it
still seems that Application_End is not being called when I stop the
server, or even when I choose to restart it from the panel (the panel from
the docs).

Am I doing something wrong or is this really the behavior of .NET?
