Ending HTTP Servers - How to know they are ended

We occasionally have a problem with the HTTP servers for Zend Server where
they need to be restarted.

Generally this occurs if there is a timeout accessing a database file if
backups have a lock on the file - but that is another story and we are
also addressing that problem.

My problem is that when I issue the ENDTCPSVR SERVER(*HTTP)
HTTPSVR('zendphp7') command;

a) Control is returned before the servers are actually ended
b) Sometimes for an unknown reason some/all the servers do not end
c) We do not know when all the servers are actually ended
d) If the command fails how do I actually stop these servers from a CL
program

I presume the best option is to issue the endtcpsvr command then wait a
while then extract a list of jobs selectively to a temporary table and
query that table for a count of jobs and then read the list and do an
endjob *immed for each job found then wait some more then repeat ?

Is there a better option ?

Appreciate any suggestions.
