AFAIK, Merlin never calls System.exit(), but I could be wrong. Hence, Merlin basically relies on that the 'enclosing container', typically the "command-line" issues a shutdown when necessary. Hence, Stephen's suggestion that you create the embedding container, and decide how the shutdown mechanism should be propogated from the point of decision to the top-level container, i.e. your own Main class. <snip content="somewhat irrelevant in the above light" /> <snip content="security concern" > Yes, we are aware of this requirement, but feel free to add such stuff to the Jira issuetracking...
