How to handle application shutdown in Quartz.Net

Question

I have used Quartz.Net for queuing and sending emails from my application. I don't know how each scheduled job responds to application instance stopping, pausing or shutting down. The IJob interface has no method that can notify a running job about these events.

My question is how can I handle these cases when they occur so that the job can exit while leaving the application and the data in a stable state?

Answer 1

Make sure you call IScheduler.Shutdown(true) when your application shuts down. This will wait for all jobs to finish and ensure everything is cleaned up correctly.
