On the Green side of the block is running a Nameko service Container which  
runs another service like a Django Application or a Crawling Framework like  
Scrapy and most of these apps have their own signal processing to detect  
the Ctrl +C signal so that they make a soft shutdown of their services but  
my problem here is that the internal service shutdowns properly or some  
times halts but when i send the same signal for nameko why cant the nameko  
shutdown the whole container and when i try this scenario the internal  
applications where been closed and some time not and the nameko service  
gets halted.

are there any extra parameters that i should use to make the container  
shutdown safely when a signal is received .

Sorry, I don't understand the question. Can you post a code sample showing what you're trying to do?
