Question

I have, a game bot which runs through console. I don’t think i’m going to code a gui for it but i would like to have the possibility to close the program without CTRL+C cause this just interrupts my program instead of properly cleaning up the code and ensure that theres no leaks.

Should i use som kind of Key Bindings or am i bound to, make a GUI ?
Or how could i go about this ?

I think thats what a shutdown hook is for.

Runtime.getRuntime().addShutdownHook( new Thread() { 
    @Override 
    public void run() { 
        System.out.println("Application shutdown"); 
    }
});
