Register cleanup procedures in node.js (stolen from: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14031763/doing-a-cleanup-action-just-before-node-js-exits)

cleanupNodejsProcess.js

process.stdin.resume();//so the program will not close instantly

function exitHandler(options, err) {
    if (options.cleanup) console.log('clean');
    if (err) console.log(err.stack);
    if (options.exit) process.exit();
}

//do something when app is closing
process.on('exit', exitHandler.bind(null,{cleanup:true}));

//catches ctrl+c event
process.on('SIGINT', exitHandler.bind(null, {exit:true}));

//catches uncaught exceptions
process.on('uncaughtException', exitHandler.bind(null, {exit:true}));
