Runtime.getRuntime().addShutdownHook(new Thread()
{
    @Override
    public void run()
    {
        updateZonas();
        db.close();
    }
});

This works for any Java application(Swing/AWT/Console)

I think I found cause of this behaviour (at least on linux distribution).

ProcessHandle.Info object is created with following method:

public static ProcessHandle.Info info(long pid, long startTime) {
    Info info = new Info();
    info.info0(pid);
    if (startTime != info.startTime) {
        info.command = null;
        info.arguments = null;
        info.startTime = -1L;
        info.totalTime = -1L;
        info.user = null;
    }
    return info;
}

where info.info0(pid) is call to native method. So I've downloaded openjdk source code and checked this method implementation. On linux JVM retrieves process data by reading /proc/{pid}/stat,/proc/{pid}/cmdline, /proc/{pid}/exe which are no longer available after process termination.

To answer my question:

There is no way to get ProcessHandle.Info for finished process.

The Runtime.addShutdownHook method can be used to add a shutdown hook, which is basically a unstarted Thread, which executes on shutdown of the Java Virtual Machine.

However, this is territory that should to be tread carefully, as it is being performed at a very sensitive time of the JVM's life cycle. From the API Specifications for the Runtime.addShutdownHook method:

Shutdown hooks run at a delicate time in the life cycle of a virtual machine and should therefore be coded defensively. They should, in particular, be written to be thread-safe and to avoid deadlocks insofar as possible.

In any event, be sure to read up a bit on how shutdown hooks work, as they probably should not be approached without some good preparation. Be sure to carefully read the API Specification for the Runtime.addShutdownHook method.

Here's are a couple articles I found from searching for information for this answer:

• Shutdown Hooks -- it shows a little example of how a shutdown hook is added for logging at shutdown.

• Design of the Shutdown Hooks API -- addresses some design decisions of shutdown hooks in a question and answer style.

Use Runtime.getRuntime().addShutdownHook(Thread).
