Type Members

trait BooleanProp extends Prop[Boolean]

trait Prop[+T] extends AnyRef

A lightweight interface wrapping a property contained in some unspecified map. Generally it'll be the system properties but this is not a requirement.

See scala.sys.SystemProperties for an example usage.

Since

2.9

class ShutdownHookThread extends Thread

A minimal Thread wrapper to enhance shutdown hooks. It knows how to unregister itself.

Since

2.9

class SystemProperties extends AbstractMap[String, String] with Map[String, String]

A bidirectional map wrapping the java System properties. Changes to System properties will be immediately visible in the map, and modifications made to the map will be immediately applied to the System properties. If a security manager is in place which prevents the properties from being read or written, the AccessControlException will be caught and discarded.

Value Members

def addShutdownHook(body: ⇒ Unit): ShutdownHookThread

Register a shutdown hook to be run when the VM exits. The hook is automatically registered: the returned value can be ignored, but is available in case the Thread requires further modification. It can also be unregistered by calling ShutdownHookThread#remove().

Note that shutdown hooks are NOT guaranteed to be run.

body

the body of code to run at shutdown

returns

the Thread which will run the shutdown hook.
