Make BackgroundService _executingTask protected about hosting HOT 2 CLOSED

Where would you be checking the status from? A derived class? That class would be implementing the workflow anyways, why not set its own completion flag?

Thanks.

Yes, I guess I could add a flag in the derived class. In my case I have couple of BackgroundServices and there's another service which looks at the completion status of those services and performs an action. I was hoping I could do something like

await Task.WhenAll(service1.ExecutingTask, service2.ExecutingTask, ...)

from this monitoring service to see if the other services have completed.

May be this flag for completion status can be an interface method/property in IHostedService? -- it only has StartAsync and StopAsync methods but no way to indicate if the service is completed. Or do you have any other suggestions to implement this pattern?
