gen_server terminate stopping other application like mnesia

[Yogish Baliga]

My app has one supervisor which in turn start few gen_server (standard OTP). start_link of one of the gen_server,  start several other applications. To ensure the clean shutdown, this gen_server's terminate function call application:stop(..) on the dependent applications.

While shutting down the whole VM via init:stop(), my app's supervisor get's brutally killed as the gen_server 's terminate function does not return. It gets stuck in application:stop(..) of dependent application (including mnesia).

Is this the desired behavior?

Thanx,
