+# Batch application
+
+If you are running your Spring Boot application as a batch program, you'll have to explicitly call exit (`SIGTERM`) on your application to proper shutdown.
+This is needed because of Narayana is running periodic recovery in a non-daemon background thread.
+
+This could be achieved with the following code example:
+```java
+@SpringBootApplication
+public class Application {

+        SpringApplication.exit(SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args));
+    }
+}
