I’m not sure why you would want to do this.  Why not keep the server around, in case the same client (or a different client) wants to connect to the server again in the future.  (The server consumes no CPU while it is sitting around, waiting for connections.)  But anyway…

The simplest way to do this is to subclass the “RTSPServer” class, and reimplement the virtual function “handleCmd_TEARDOWN()” to just call
	exit();
(The operating system will then automatically clean up all of the sockets (and memory) that the server is using.)

A familiarity with C++ is a prerequisite for using the LIVE555 code.
