3rd option, from my Windows times I remember that people tend to use

to handle the real application, i.e a process that launches the main

then this could be an option.
Do you have to check if a server crashes or something like that ?
not a system crash. just a signal of sistems shutdown or process kill.
You can catch signals, but some the OS does not let you catch.
IIRC, Posix systems on shutdown first send a "TERM" signal (15) which is
the default signal for the kill command line as well. If the process
does not clean up within a certain timeout, then it is sent the "KILL"
signal (9), which CANNOT be caught.
What you want is to handle process cleanup on the TERM signal.
