Yes, this is something that I was thinking…
But then I was having another problem with this approach (I stopped using shell because of this)…
The problem I was having were:
When I was testing the pod shutdown (killing it using k8s delete or helm del) the SIGTERM wasn’t being sent to my application (as the documentation suggest we should have in the ending lifecycle) causing my binary to not shutdown gracefully…
So I changed to use the binary direct in commands/args to have it working (as I understood k8s wasn’t sending SIGTERM to my binary because it was sending to the shell as it was the first thing started…)
And then, I came here for this args things, hehe
