title: Linux SIGINT passive capture
body: <p>Is there a place where the Linux kernel passively logs SIGKILL (kill -9) shutdown requests?</p>
  
  <p>I have a JVM running that is arbitrarily being shut down and I suspect that, based on the evidence available, is being shut down by a stray process that is somehow issuing a shutdown of the JVM process. I have robust logging in place but in order to confirm my suspicion, I'd have to turn up the logging level to overwhelming levels. </p>
  
  <p>I've researched exhaustively through /var/log and can't seem to find any place that might capture and log these SIGKILL events. Any ideas where I might find these events, if they exist? </p>
