Hi,
Am trying to control the users in my Java application. For that i need to know how to launch a few commands when the user clicks the exit button or presses the X on the upper Right corner of the app. And If there could be some help on how to know if the program terminated unexppectedly the last time the user was logged on it would be very helpful!

If you want to track when a Window is closed, you will need to add a listener to your window, just like you do with any other Component (as a button, for example). Take a look in this link:

Thanks that was very helpful but there is nothing on how to know if the app terminated unexpectedly or was killed

Use something like a log file. Write something like 'yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss program started, pid=....' to it when the app starts.
Write something like 'yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss program terminated normally, pid=....' just before the program terminates normally.
If the latter does not show up in the logfile, you know it did not terminate normally.

Or write a pid to a file when the app starts and remove this file when the app terminates normally (often used to check if an app is already running) On startup, check the file. If the pid-file is there at next startup, there was an unexpected termination.

Yes thanks for you quick reply! I'll try to do what you said! Thanks to you all!
