SignalHandler

Question

Hello,
I try to handle the signal which is throwed when someone kill the process in the taskmanager, but it does'nt work.
If I try to handle the Ctrl+C signal (SIGINT) it's working, but not whith SIGTERM. Why, How can I do to handle this signal ?
Here is my code :
import sun.misc.Signal;
import sun.misc.SignalHandler;
public class TesteurHandling {
     public static void main(String [] args)
          SignalHandler handler = new SignalHandler ()
               public void handle(Signal sig)
                    System.out.println(" howdy, some dude sent an sig: "+sig);
          Signal.handle(new Signal("INT"), handler);
          Signal.handle(new Signal("TERM"), handler);
          try
               System.in.read();
          catch (java.io.IOException ioe)
               ioe.printStackTrace();
}Thank you,

as corlettk already told you: avoid those API whenever possible.
Regarding your cases:
* SignalHandler: proprietary API, there's not alternative. Use it if you must. Fail gracefully if it isn't there
* Hashtable: seems like you simply picked the wrong one. Use the one in java.util
* Base64 stuff: Plenty of free (BSD licensed) implementations out there, I'm sure there's one in commons-codec as well. Use those instead.
