One possible solution is to create a file containing the PID of the process.
On Linux, the right place to store that would be /var/run/myprogram.pid
Make sure to use the Java remove on exit feature when creating the file
so that you don't have left over files. You should also use the
atomic create and check to prevent multiple startups of your process
(or come up with a design allowing multiple PIDs to be stored).
All you have to do to kill the process is read the pid file and send
a TERM signal. Starting with JDK 1.3 you can even catch the TERM
signal in your server, and clean up before exiting.
