/*
Terminate Java Virtual Machine (JVM) Example
This Java example shows how to terminate currently running
Java Virtual Machine(JVM) using halt method of Runtime class.
*/
public class TerminateVirtualMachine {
public static void main(String args[])
{
/*
* get current Java Runtime using getRuntime()
* method of Runtime class.
*/
Runtime runtime = Runtime.getRuntime();
/*
* To forcibly terminate the currently running virtual machine, use
*
* void halt(int status)
* method of Runtime class.
*
* Usually, non-zero status is passed as status for abnormal exit.
*
* Please note that, unlike exit method, this method DOES NOT invoke
* shutdown hooks or run object finalizers.
*
*
*/
System.out.println("About to halt the current jvm");
runtime.halt(1);
/*
* THIS METHOD NEVER RETURNS NORMALLY.
* This statement will never executed, as the JVM is
* terminated!
*/
System.out.println("JVM Terminated");
}
}
/*
Typical output would be
About to halt the current jvm
*/
