What is the use case of unloading a module?

delete require.cache is not good way to unload.

Some times module doesn't get unloaded after deleting it from cache. Modules api lacks unload method :(

    I'm interested in this question too. I tried it once, but all the
    async operations started by the modules remained active even after
    "unloading" it. Try for example a simple setInterval() that writes
    something to the log every second, in the module - when you unload
    the module, the timer is still running.

    Is there a better way to do it?

        I did some research in the group and it appears someone had a
        similar question about unloading modules that were loaded with
        require.

        Am I correct in reading that the use of nodules would allow me
        to require('./module1') then dump the entire contents of that
        module programmaticly at a later time? Then reload it if I
        felt like it, all within the same node process.
