Cancelling a ScheduledExecutorService

[Sam Yim]

Hi All,

I'm beginning to expirement w/ the Concurrency package.

I've setup a job to run in an interval using the ScheduledExecutorService.

The return object is ScheduledFuture, which I can use to cancel the scheduled executor service.

However, I'm not sure how to trigger a scheduledFutuer.cancel()...

I've been using 'Control C' on Windows and the kill command in UNIX to kill the job.

But I want to be able to catch these signal to ensure that the current running thread completes before the job/code is killed.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Look at Runtime#addShutdownHook.
