Reading data from the console to exit

I have an program which keeps running all the time and when ever i type "EXIT" in the command prompt, the java application should stop running.. Can anybody help me out in this

I have the sample code likethis

class Sample{

publicstaticvoid main( String args[])

{

while(true)

{

BufferedReader br=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));

String stop=br.readLine();

if(stop.equals("x"))

break;

// or else stop the application directly ..

else

{

//do some task..

}

}

}

This program shouldnot stop running unless i give exit.

The looping shouldnot wait untill i press enter every time.

If i run the program now, each and every time we have to give ENTER to continue our task .. Is there any other way to do it so.
