Most actors are started from the deployment XML file, but there is other methods.
This example show them all.

+
+ - **React to the end of actors:**
+ You can attach a callback to the end of actors. There is two ways
+ of doing so, depending of whether you want your callback to be
+ executed when a specific actor ends (with ```this_actor::on_exit()```)
+ or whether it should be executed when any actor ends (with
+ ```Actor::on_destruction()```)

- **Kill actors:**
- Actors can forcefully stop other actors with the
- :cpp:func:`void simgrid::s4u::Actor::kill(void)` or the
- :cpp:func:`void simgrid::s4u::Actor::kill(aid_t)` methods.

actor into a daemon that will be automatically killed once the simulation is over.
