Hey!

Im looking for a way to execute cleanup code before a rails instance  
is shutdown. Is there some kind of callback i can hook into? Something  
like on\_shutdown…? I tried to search the web, but everything i found  
relates to the active record callbacks, which are not helpful in this  
case.

Thanks a lot!

Florian
