The **node‑death** package provides a simple way to listen for termination signals (such as SIGINT, SIGTERM, SIGQUIT, and optionally uncaught exceptions or SIGHUP) and run a single cleanup callback before your Node.js process exits. It’s ideal for developers who want graceful shutdown logic—like closing connections or flushing data—without manually wiring multiple `process.on` handlers. The module is lightweight and works on POSIX systems, making it useful for any application that needs reliable, one‑place termination handling.
