Hi!
public booelan running;
public void run(){
while(running){
}
}
Another thread can then stop the thread by altering running to false. Then the thread
will have the possibility to clean after itself.
You must ofcourse register the tread somewhere so you can find it but that is another
question. Perhpas something to implement at serverlevel so a admin can look for
running threads and kill them off...????
