Something like this would be relatively easy...
RETSIGTYPE killit(int sig)
{
log("Time to go nighty-night.");
circle_shutdown = 1;
}
my_signal(SIG_USR2, killit);
Then from a cron job,
kill -USR2 `pidof circle`
Lets it exit gracefully. You could also throw in something to
force everyone to save, then send_to_all("Time's up. Bye.");
