Kestrel shutdown function in Startup.cs in ASP.NET Core

Question

Is there a shutdown function when using Microsoft.AspNet.Server.Kestrel? ASP.NET Core (formerly ASP.NET vNext) clearly has a Startup s

Answer 1

I solved it with the application lifetime callback events

Startup.cs

public void Configure(IHostApplicationLifetime appLifetime) {
 appLifetime.ApplicationStarted.Register(() => {
  Console.WriteLine("Press Ctrl+C to shut down.");
 });

 appLifetime.ApplicationStopped.Register(() => {
  Console.WriteLine("Terminating application...");
  System.Diagnostics.Process.GetCurrentProcess().Kill();
 });
}

Program.cs

Also, use UseConsoleLifetime() while building the host.

Host.CreateDefaultBuilder(args).UseConsoleLifetime(opts => opts.SuppressStatusMessages = true);
