Detect Application Shutdown in C# NET?
- by Michael Pfiffer
I am writing a small console application (will be ran as a service) that basically starts a Java app when it is running, shuts itself down if the Java app closes, and shuts down the Java app if it closes.
I think I have the first two working properly, but I don't know how to detect when the .NET application is shutting down so that I can shutdown the Java app prior to that happening. Google search just returns a bunch of stuff about detecting Windows shutting down.
Can anyone tell me how I can handle that part and if the rest looks fine?
namespace MinecraftDaemon
{
class Program
{
public static void LaunchMinecraft(String file, String memoryValue)
{
String memParams = "-Xmx" + memoryValue + "M" + " -Xms" + memoryValue + "M ";
String args = memParams + "-jar " + file + " nogui";
ProcessStartInfo processInfo = new ProcessStartInfo("java.exe", args);
processInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;
processInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
try
{
using (Process minecraftProcess = Process.Start(processInfo))
{
minecraftProcess.WaitForExit();
}
}
catch
{
// Log Error
}
}
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Arguments CommandLine = new Arguments(args);
if (CommandLine["file"] != null && CommandLine["memory"] != null)
{
// Launch the Application
LaunchMinecraft(CommandLine["file"], CommandLine["memory"]);
}
else
{
LaunchMinecraft("minecraft_server.jar", "1024");
}
}
}
}
