JVM returns error 143

Question

A Java application running as an scheduled task on Windows 2003 crashed with no logs or anything that would help to find out what happened. The only information available, is that the application returned code 143 (8F). That error code was retrieved from the scheduled tasks log.

Does anyone knows what that error code (143) stands for? Is it possible that an user logging off could cause the application to be terminated?

Thanks,

143 often means that the application was terminated due to a SIGTERM command. See also https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/10231/when-does-the-system-send-a-sigterm-to-a-process

However, please note that an application might use 143 for its own custom result.
