     * The {@link ShutdownStrategy} supports preparing for shutdown using two steps. First a regular preparation, where
     * the given forced parameter will be <tt>false</tt>. And if the shutdown times out, then the
     * {@link ShutdownStrategy} performs a more aggressive shutdown, calling this method a second time with
     * <tt>true</tt> for the given forced parameter. For example by graceful stopping any threads or the likes.
     * <p/>
     * In addition a service can also be suspended (not stopped), and when this happens the parameter
     * <tt>suspendOnly</tt> has the value <tt>true</tt>. This can be used to prepare the service for suspension, such as
     * marking a worker thread to skip action.
     * <p/>
     * For forced shutdown, then the service is expected to aggressively shutdown any child services, such as thread
     * pools etc. This is the last chance it has to perform such duties.
     * 
     * @param suspendOnly <tt>true</tt> if the intention is to only suspend the service, and not stop/shutdown the
     *                    service.
     * @param forced      <tt>true</tt> is forcing a more aggressive shutdown, <tt>false</tt> is for preparing to
     *                    shutdown.
