# registerUnloadHandler

`open fun registerUnloadHandler(runOnStop: () -> Unit): Nothing`

Allows the registration of a callback that may inform services when the app is shutting down.

The intent is to allow the cleaning up of resources - e.g. releasing ports.

You should not rely on this to clean up executing flows - that's what quasar is for.

Please note that the shutdown handler is not guaranteed to be called. In production the node process may crash, be killed by the operating system and other forms of fatal termination may occur that result in this code never running. So you should use this functionality only for unit/integration testing or for code that can optimise this shutdown e.g. by cleaning up things that would otherwise trigger a slow recovery process next time the node starts.
