Sandeep,
Sorry, but the Wrapper does not currently exit with the correct exit
code. I added
a feature request for this last month and try to get it into the Wrapper
for a near future
version. You might want to monitor the feature request so you will get
notifications
on its progress.

One alternative for you would be to write a simple utility class
which you specify
as the main class (Ie the first parameter to WrapperSimpleApp) It
would start by
calling the WrapperManager.getJVMId() method to find out which
invocation number
the JVM was. If it is < 4 then call you real application's main
method. Otherwise
call a method that executes SendMail and then calls System.exit().
Alternatively you
could make use of the Java Mail API rather than using SendMail. It is
quite easy to
use.
I am also working on another feature that will allow you to run
arbitrary external
programs in response to various events in the Wrapper life cycles. Some
users have
needed this functionality so they could, for example, run an application
after a JVM
crashes, but before a new one is launched. I was planning to have
events for the
startup and shutdown of the Wrapper as well. This feature is still in
the design phase
so if you have any requirements you would like me to consider, go ahead
and post them.
