Hi guys,

I've just tested Logstash 7.1.0 against my previous version 6.3.1.  
I've noticed when trying to stop 7.1.0 version with SIGTERM (using --pipeline.unsafe\_shutdown option ) it cannot stop. I see:  
`[2019-05-30T09:12:40,538][FATAL][logstash.shutdownwatcher] Forcefully quitting logstash..`  
in logs but process exists and still processes events.

Logstash 6.3.1 have no problem with stopping when using --pipeline.unsafe\_shutdown).  
In this case in see i logs:

```
[2019-05-30T09:12:40,547][FATAL][logstash.shutdownwatcher] Forcefully quitting logstash..
[2019-05-30T09:12:40,914][ERROR][org.logstash.Logstash] java.lang.IllegalStateException: Logstash stopped processing because of an error: (SystemExit) exit

```

I'm not sure but seems like commit "JAVAFICATION: Ported ShutdownWatcher to Java" caused this.  
https://github.com/elastic/logstash/commit/417afd1c5a8d5891f83727828a6488a1dacf622f#diff-61fab6130487b7386c7d23f398bcf7ed

Any ideas ?

Thanks in advance !
