Graceful shutdown doesn't shutdown at all

[ghost]

Hello,

I have followed the documentation but I don't see to be able to exit the process with a graceful shutdown.
The code in the shutdown block never gets executed. Last line does but the process does not exit.

// if both buttons are pressed, disconnect:
if (left && right) {
process.once('SIGTERM', function(sig) {
kue.shutdown(5000, function(err) {
console.log('Kue shutdown: ', err || '');
process.exit(0);
});
});
tag.disconnect();
}

Any help is wildely appreciated.
thx

Is your shutdown callback getting called? (do you see 'Kue Shutdown' at console?)

The entire code in the process.once block doesn't get called (sorry I implicitly implied that some gets called in my previous statement) - it doesn't shuts down at all.

‍‍‍process.once('SIGTERM', function(sig) will be called when you send a SIGTERM signal to your node.js process which can be done by pressing CTRL+C in the terminal which you process is running.
This is nothing to do with Kue.

Thank you for the explanation, now I understand how it is suppoesed to be used.
What would be the recommened way to shutdown at will (exist the process naturally and not by sig.)?

kue.shutdown(2000, function(err) {
  console.log('Kue shutdown: ', err || '');
  //process.exit(0); you should not need this line
});
