You could for example create a pipe and write to it in the signal handler  
(write is a function you can call in a signal handler). Somewhere else in  
your program you read from the pipe (as you use Boost.Asio anyway eg. with  
boost::asio::posix::stream_descriptor). If read returns you know it's time  
to shutdown the server. And as you are not in a signal handler anymore you  
can call io_service::stop.
