Hi Sebastiaan, As Martinas pointed out (and I tried to tell in London) you should define some "ShutMeDownGracefully" (replace this exemplary name with one matching the context) message for each actor which needs graceful shutdown and implement the specific behavior which might vary (not every actor needs to process its current mailbox, other shutdown-algorithms are possible) depending on the specific purposes of the actor.
