So far when dealing with simple state machines I hadn't have a situation where upon transitioning from one state to another the context needs to pass through other states. That's to say, for example there is an entity which has following states: Running, Shutdown, and Disabled, and the transition from Running to Disabled functionally goes through the Shutdown state:
Running->Shutdown->Disabled
The question is how in terms of proper state machine implementation I should do this kind of transition with more than two states involved.
Best regards
