[logback-user] SMTPAppender buffer flushed on exit?

[Ceki Gülcü]

Hi Mark,

Assuming SMTPAppender is configured with OnErrorEvaluator (the default), 
then an email will be sent each time a logging event with the ERROR 
level occurs.  You can cause such an event to occur on system exit by 
registering a shutdown hook. See Runtime.addShutdownHook.

HTH,
