How to run a Spring Boot application for exactly 24 hours?

Question

I would like to create a Spring Boot application and let it run exactly 24 hours. After that the application should exit nicely. I could only think of achieving this goal with an infinate loop and always check current time equals start time + 24 hours. Can anybody please advise?

Please note this is NOT to schedule some tasks...

What environment will the app run in? warfile in application server? standalone jar? — devnull, Jun 25 '18 at 05:37

You can schedule a task to execute once: (Spring scheduling task - run only once) and close application when task is executed (Programmatically shut down Spring Boot application)

If you do this on Linux, you can run your Spring Boot Application, and get the process ID.

java -jar your-app.jar

and use another base script to kill it after 24 hours, like :

sleep 24 * 60 * 60
kill -9 <pid_of_your_app>
