[erlang-questions] Can I stop an application from within one of its servers?

[Anthony Shipman]

I have a node that I want to shut down by sending a message to its central 
gen_server. What's the best way to do this? At the moment I have the 
gen_server call application:stop() which eventually calls erlang:halt(). 
Calling this from within the callback module of an gen_server seems a bit 
brutal.
