So that's what the Cast command is used for. Thank you for the code and yes, the comments are very useful as they helped me understand the code.

Check this: http://www.trapexit.org/Building_a_Non-blocking...
It uses a non-blocking accept although undocumented.

The Erlang documentation covers its approach to in-place code upgrades here: http://erlang.org/doc/design_principles/part_fr... . In particular, see the sections “Releases” and “Release Handling.”

The stubs at the bottom are there because I didn't have time to implement them and I didn't think they'd improve the example.

But the gen_server behavior has a lot to offer, especially if you want to make your server more robust.

The loop is stored in the State#server_state record, which gen_server passes to each of its callbacks.
