Not in a generic way. There is a long-standing issue for this: https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/issues/1691 There is already some support for executing commands using the

Command

package: https://www.pulumi.com/registry/packages/command/

I see.. My use case is just like this comment https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/issues/1691#issuecomment-909083261, does the command package support this?

Command doesn't support that. You can hook startup pretty easily, just have some code at the start of your program and check if the dryRun flag is set (each SDK has a way to get this, something like

pulumi.runtime.dry_run

) There's currently nothing for seeing the end of a deployment. I've been re-thinking the engine/program communication protocol recently a bit, so I'll keep this in mind for any new designs.

I see, thanks, checking

dry_run

definitely works for the startup behavior. I'm going to give some of the Node.js exit handlers a try - I think the

exit

event would definitely work here, but that doesn't allow asynchronous work, so I'm hoping pulumi doesn't explicitly exit the process and I can use

beforeExit

I think you can use beforeExit. There's a few places we call exit directly but not once an update is running I believe.
