Still maintained?

[dandv]

In case this module is no longer maintained (last commit was ~3 years ago), here are some more actively maintained alternatives:

• exit-hook
• async-exit-hook - with async support, which this module doesn't have (it was released before ES2017).

I haven't worked with node for the past 1.5 years or so. Does anyone see reason to continue maintaining this module in light of the other available options?

[dandv]

After spending some time looking into the other modules, they aren't without issues:

• exit hook, albeit way more popular, hasn't added async support since it was requested in 2014, and it looks like that might be waiting on a core Node feature, and doesn't pass the exit code or the signal to the cleanup hook/handler.
• async-exit-hook needs native promise support and to handle errors in the exitHook

Looks like node-cleanup might be here to stay :)

@dandv it looks like the issue with exit-hooks had been solved.

Just to keep this updated, exit-hook added async support but also went "pure ESM" which is very frustrating for those still stuck on CJS.
