Hi,
another solution could be to use something like my "v4l-VOD suite" i
posted a few days back, probably you have to add some sort of "client
counting", where you do some locking and counting of the clients that
are "attached" to your server. If the last client exits, you stop the
stream. Another solution is a "keep-alive-ping"-scheme, where every
client sends a keepalive message every few seconds. If the server doesnt
receive a ping for a given amount of time, he terminates the streamer.
This is all easy to implement as a type of wrapper application, no need
to change vls.

Good luck
