Actually, 6.0.24 version *will* exit silently if it is terminated by a signal. To reproduce (on Windows): 1. Run Tomcat in a console window. 2. Press Ctrl+C 3. Tomcat shutdowns in several seconds, cleanly, but silently. That is because in 6.0.24 a VM shutdown hook was added that cleanly terminates logging subsystem (flushing all cached messages). The VM starts all shutdown hook threads at the same time and they run in parallel. Thus if Tomcat is being stopped through a hook, the logging subsystem has a chance to be already shut down at that time. I think that the same silent shutdown will occur if calling System.exit(), by the same reason. I do not know, what will happen if running Tomcat with jsvc on a Unix. (IIRC, jsvc calls the stop method in Bootstrap/Catalina, so Tomcat shuts down not through a hook and all messages should be present). The above is specific to 6.0.24. In 6.0.20 logs are forcibly flushed after each message is written, and log files are never explicitly closed.
