Only allow a given thread to stop the application. A hackish example
would be this:
System.setSecurityManager(new SecurityManager(){
public void checkExit(int status) {
if (!Thread.currentThread().getName().equals("kill
thread")) throw new SecurityException("naughty naughty.");
}
}
You could also use a special magic status number, such as 0xCAFEBABE :)
