Tell a supervisor to stop when all children are gone

[Frank Muller]

Hi guys,

How should I configure my supervisor to automatically stop it when its children are stopped?

I’m using rest_for_one strategy.

Thanks.

Use 'auto_shutdown' and mark all of the children as 'significant'; see
https://www.erlang.org/doc/man/supervisor.html#significant_child.
Requires OTP-24.something, iirc.

Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you. 

Hi Frank,

Would auto_shutdown set to all_significant help?
