Java and signal handler

 
Hi All

I have a java program. This is invoked by a shell script. And shell
script is invoked by a C program. 

Now, this java program spawns 5-6 threads (depending on the load). For
stopping the server, I send SIGTERM. But JAVA program is not responding
to the signal.. 

Do I need to handle the signals specially in the java programs, the way
I do it in C program???
