Which signal is emitted when the STOP button is clicked ?
I'm part of a multiplayer repl with NodeJS, and we use a database to store informations, but when I stop the process, and when it stops automatically around 1AM GTM, Database is still open, and we lose data. My question is, how can I handle the STOP button press event in my code in order to execute some code before the repl stops (close database, deny transactions...)
Thank you.

process.on("exit", () => {
})the signal is just your standard ^C (ctrl+c)

@Coder100 it's not SIGINT it's SIGKILL so the above code will not work.
SIGKILLis emitted which cannot be caught (which would defeat the purpose).@programmeruser So I can't handle it ? :(
@Unaty498 no, due to how linux works.
@programmeruser So is there a way to configure the STOP button in order to make it emit
SIGTERMorSIGINTinstead ofSIGKILL?@Unaty498 unfortunately, no.
@programmeruser oh, sad, but thanks for the answer anyway
