-Xrs parameter in JAVA_OPTIONS in Solaris

On one of my web servers I use the “-Xrs” parameter in the JAVA_OPTIONS on a Solaris server.  This tells the JVM to ignore any system shutdown requests.  This prevents the JVM from shutting down in the event there is a system panic which may not otherwise cause a system crash.   See the JVM parameters page for Solaris for more details.
