That's exactly what I needed - thanks, Marko

    async def background_task()
        try:
            while True:
                await perform_task()
                await asyncio.sleep(10)
        except asyncio.CancelledError:
                await perform_cleanup()

At startup -

    task = asyncio.ensure_future(background_task())

At shutdown -

    task.cancel()
    await asyncio.wait([task])

Works perfectly - thanks again.
