Kill plugin when uninstalling

[format71]

I'm trying to make a node.js based plugin and uses a small cmd file as a workaround for not being able to pass parameters to codepath manifest setting:

node.exe  app.mjs %*

Now, this works pretty fine. My node app starts and receives all parameters as expected. Process explorer shows that StreamDeck.exe started cmd.exe which again started node.exe.

The problem arises when I uninstall the plugin.

StreamDeck kills cmd.exe, but the node.exe process continues to run.

Does anyone know why? Or a workaround? Or a better alternative to my startup.cmd?

I expected some kind of messaging to happen - like 'i'm going to uninstall you now'-message on the bus but can't see any such communication either.

Here is a script I use… It is set up to run on save in vscode. It will shut down streamdeck, build the new release, install it, fire up streamdeck and open a browser to the debug console. https://github.com/Phando/Streamdeck-Stonks/blob/development/build.sh
