`boolean`	`isTerminated()` Returns `true` if this service has terminated.
`void`	`shutdown()` Initiates an orderly shutdown in which the service will be continue to perform its duties as long as there is work to be done.

- Method Detail
  - shutdown
```
void shutdown()
```
    Initiates an orderly shutdown in which the service will be continue to perform its duties as long as there is work to be done. For instance for a sequence of steps, the service could continue to invoke the steps' perform() methods until all invocations yield false (indicating that no work was done).
    This method does not wait for for termination; use awaitTermination to do that.
    Invocation has no additional effect if already shut down.
  - shutdownNow
```
java.util.List<java.lang.Runnable> shutdownNow()
```
    Initiates an immediate shutdown in which the service will stop even if there is more work to be done. For instance for a sequence of steps, the service could abort invocation of the steps' perform() irrespective of prior invocation results.
    This method does not wait for for termination; use awaitTermination to do that.
    Invocation has no additional effect if already shut down.
    
    Returns:
    
    list of tasks that never commenced execution if any, otherwise an empty list
  - isShutdown
```
boolean isShutdown()
```
    Returns true if this service has been shut down.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if this service has been shut down
  - isTerminated
```
boolean isTerminated()
```
    Returns true if this service has terminated.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the service has terminated.
  - awaitTermination
```
boolean awaitTermination(long timeout,
                         java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit unit)
```
    Blocks until this service has terminated, or the timeout occurs, whichever happens first. Zero timeout means waiting forever.
    
    Parameters:
    
    timeout - the maximum time to wait, zero to wait indefinitely
    
    unit - the time unit of the timeout argument
    
    Returns:
    
    true if this executor terminated and false if the timeout elapsed before termination
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.IllegalStateException - if any thread has interrupted the current thread
