How do I exit NextJS with a SIGTERM signal?

Question

Running npm run dev or npx next dev starts the dev server. Sending a SIGTERM to this process does not invoke any exiting procedure - it can't shut down gracefully. Is there any way to exit it gracefully?

I’m wondering this too. There’s docs for graceful shutdown for Pages Router, but this seems to be missing for App Router

@Ratonero Mallorquin You managed to figure this one out?
