Joachim Durchholz commented on SLF4J-192:
-----------------------------------------

@Ralph Unfortunately, [https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-124] does 
not really argue why shutdown() would be a good idea. The discussion quickly 
diverges into the appropriate place to implement it.

I hear that Log4J is both facade and implementation. If that's true, pointing 
at Log4J and saying that it has shutdown() isn't enough of an argument anyway: 
You also need to argue that it's in the facade part of Log4J, and that the 
association to that part was the correct decision.
Feel free to complete that argument, but for now I'm staying unconcinved.

> There needs to be a way to shutdown logging and flush async appenders so when 
> a process is closing, all log events are written before the process is closed.
> Should ILoggerFactory have a shutdown or stop method?  It could shutdown 
> whatever logging back end I'm using?
> For log4j it would call - 
> org.apache.log4j.LogManager.getLoggerRepository().shutdown();
> For logback it would call - loggerContext.stop()
> Other back ends - ???
> This is required to allow me to not reference logging back ends explicitly in 
> my code to shutdown successfully without losing events.
> Discussion about this is happening on the user list at -
> http://www.qos.ch/pipermail/logback-user/2010-September/001816.html
