I tried to override the SecurityManager
checkExit(int status)
method - this works if System.exit(status)
is called anywhere explicitly - however, it doesn't set the status when the application exits "normally" (no active threads), or an error kills the VM.
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.security.Permission;
public class ExitChecker {
public ExitChecker() {
System.setSecurityManager(new ExitMonitorSecurityManager());
Runtime.getRuntime().addShutdownHook(new Thread(new MyShutdownHook()));
BufferedReader input = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
String line = "";
while (!line.equalsIgnoreCase("Q")) {
try {
System.out.println("Press a number to exit with that status.");
System.out.println("Press 'R' to generate a RuntimeException.");
System.out.println("Press 'O' to generate an OutOfMemoryError.");
System.out.println("Press 'Q' to exit normally.");
line = input.readLine().trim();
processInput(line);
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
System.exit(-1);
}
}
}
private void processInput(String line) {
if (line.equalsIgnoreCase("Q")) {
// continue, will exit loop and exit normally
} else if (line.equalsIgnoreCase("R")) {
throwRuntimeException();
} else if (line.equals("O")) {
throwError();
} else {
// try to parse to number
try {
int status = Integer.parseInt(line);
callExit(status);
} catch(NumberFormatException x) {
// not a number.. repeat question...
System.out.println("\nUnrecognized input...\n\n");
}
}
}
public void callExit(int status) {
System.exit(status);
}

throw new OutOfMemoryError("OutOfMemoryError");
