How do I detect when a server is shutting down?
I have a database that keeps track of all the servers in my game. I need it to remove a server when it is being shut down so that its no longer in the database. Is there a way of detecting a server shutdown, and giving enough time to send an HTTP Post request?

You'll want to use
game.OnClose = function()
like TheHospitalDev said.
There is also a new feature called BindToClose which allows you to bind all your "OnClose" functions if you have multiple.
game:BindToClose(function() print("Starting callback...") wait(5) print("Done callback...") end)

OnClose should not be used because it is deprecated. Use game:BindToClose from now on Validark 1580 — 7y

You could try using the OnClose function.
game.OnClose = function() --When the last player leaves, connect.
--Do stuff here...
wait(60) --Waits a minute, should be long enough
end
