    require('fs').writeFile('async.txt', 'bye!', callback);
}

function fnSyncTest() {
    for (var i = 0; i < 10; i++) {}
}

function killProcess() {

    if (process.exitTimeoutId) {
        return;
    }

    process.exitTimeoutId = setTimeout(() => process.exit, 5000);
    console.log('process will exit in 5 seconds');

    fnAsyncTest(function() {
        console.log('async op. done', arguments);
    });

    if (!fnSyncTest()) {
        console.log('sync op. done');
    }
}

// https://nodejs.org/api/process.html#process_signal_events
process.on('SIGTERM', killProcess);
process.on('SIGINT', killProcess);

process.on('uncaughtException', function(e) {

    console.log('[uncaughtException] app will be terminated: ', e.stack);

    killProcess();
    /**

     * It is not safe to resume normal operation after 'uncaughtException'. 
     * If you do use it, restart your application after every unhandled exception!

console.log('App is running...');
console.log('Try to press CTRL+C or SIGNAL the process with PID: ', process.pid);

process.stdin.resume();
