Making sure Livecode Server shuts down correctly

I received a notification that my LiveCode Server scripts were continuing to run on the server. I was asked to "make sure that LiveCode server shuts down correctly after access."
I'm not sure how to do that. I am not opening any sockets or processes. No database access. What should I be doing to shut down the server after my scripts run?

Any chance, that you have an infinite loop or so in your script. Or maybe any shell() function?
Until today i never heard of such a problem. Who is your hoster? Is there any more information in that email?
Regards,
Matthias

It's on Livecode Hosting. Robin sent me the note. I've tried replying, but it seems that there's something wrong with their email right now. His note was:
Unfortunately, we've detected a problem with scripts running on the account
"teaspoon" on our Quartz server. It appears that some of the scripts in the
/chatbot/ directory didn't close properly and were overloading the server. I have
killed the open processes but would be grateful if you could take a look at the
scripts and make sure that LiveCode server shuts down correctly after access.

Chatbot? Are you polling with HTTP or using sockets directly?
