I'm using suspendApp and I'd like to better understand what's going on with the stop method on the NettyApplicationEngine. I noticed that when NettyApplicationEngine.start is called a shutdown hook is added which is the stop method, but in SuspendApp the stop method is called explicity. How can I make sense of this? Why is this not problem?

Look at the ResourceScope extensions above. They call the shutdown hook automatically upon finishing normally or exceptionally

There's an issue (https://github.com/arrow-kt/suspendapp/issues/115) with ktor since 2.3 including the shutdown hook. You'll want to disable it with the mentioned jvm property as you want suspendapp to control the shutdown.

@phldavies Thank you so much. I suspected something wasn't working quite right. This saved me a lot of time.
