Logging JVM exit (in context of JEP 486)

[Baesken, Matthias]

Maybe not exactly what you want, but there is also the JFR Shutdown event https://sap.github.io/SapMachine/jfrevents/21.html#shutdown  .
This is generated in  JVM_BeforeHalt :

https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/blob/037f11b864734734dd7fbce029b2e8b4bc17f3ab/src/hotspot/share/prims/jvm.cpp#L436


( my colleague Johannes also mentioned the JVM shutdown hooks - might be also interesting for you  https://www.baeldung.com/jvm-shutdown-hooks  )

Best regards, Matthias
