Description

My application is multi-threaded, when Ctrl-C is pressed to terminate it, Log4J ShutdownHooks in LoggerContext are called to close the appenders, so I lost any log that the application does during its termination.
What I think I need, is a way to disable the automatic close done by LoggerContext and a way to call the close by myself.
