[erlang-questions] How to solve the blocking accept call in a tcp_listener process ?

[Christian]

* Start the process using 'proc_lib' so it can be added to a supervisor

* Run accept with a short timeout so you can poll your mailbox for
messages to cancel

* Use gen_server:enter_loop (or other similar) to become a gen
behavior once the socket is connected.
