[Live-devel] Server shutdown

Just <control>-C (or the "kill" command).

The "live555MediaServer" code (unlike the code for the application in 
the "testProgs" directory) is not 'demo source'.  It's the source for 
a complete application (product).

Not at all.  Once any application ends (no matter how it ends), all 
of its memory is reclaimed by the operating system.  (Similarly, all 
of its network sockets get closed.)

Just kill it.
