Hi, Hmm. It's a debatable question. >Since the startup scripts don't keep track of how the JVM exited, it >really doesn't matter what exit code is used since no one is probably >tracking it.
I disagree. People could keep track of it and use it for various things (restart the server, notify admins, syslog calls, etc). It is also a matter of good practice to use a standard exit code: 0 for normal and nonzero for error conditions. >If a System.exit() was called - then it was an abnormal shutdown. This is up for debate. For most ordinary conditions, the above is true. However, if a user knows (because, for example, a 3rd party app they use within tomcat spawns non-daemon threads) that he/she will need to use the shutdownWait option, then I would think that's a "normal" shutdown with System.exit() is called. I don't think this is a major point, and unless people complain we should probably leave it as is.
