How to log when windows service is being stopped by server restart c#

Question

I want to handle when windows service is killed by task manager or by system restart.
I tried using below handler inside Timer_Elapsed method of the service timer
public void Start()
AppDomain.CurrentDomain.UnhandledException += CurrentDomain_UnhandledException;
_myTimer= new Timer(10000);
_myTimer.Elapsed += OnElapsed;
_myTimer.AutoReset = false;
_myTimer.Start();
private void OnElapsed(object sender, ElapsedEventArgs e)
try
_myTimer.Stop();
//Work
finally
_myTimer.Start();
and even I have placed the same into Main() method of the console as I am using Topshelf for windows service.
static void Main(string[] args)
AppDomain.CurrentDomain.UnhandledException += CurrentDomain_UnhandledException;
var exitCode = HostFactory.Run(hostConfigurator =>
hostConfigurator.Service<MyService>(serviceConfigurator =>
serviceConfigurator.ConstructUsing(() => new MyService());
serviceConfigurator.WhenStarted(MyService => MyService.Start());
serviceConfigurator.WhenStopped(MyService=> MyService.Stop());
hostConfigurator.RunAsLocalSystem();
hostConfigurator.SetDisplayName("MyService");
hostConfigurator.SetDescription("MyService");
hostConfigurator.SetServiceName("MyService");
hostConfigurator.UseLog4Net();
private static void CurrentDomain_UnhandledException(object sender, UnhandledExceptionEventArgs e)
File.AppendAllText(@"C:\Crash.txt", "Main Termination");
In either scenario the handler is not getting called when I kill the windows service process from task manager or system restart. Even TopShelf is not logging "UnhandledServiceException" exit code.
I have searched for all possible ways but no luck. Could any one please help me in this.
Thanks

Hello RamJS,
You could have a try to use the Process.Exited Event to handle such process end log:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.diagnostics.process.exited(v=vs.110).aspx
The Exited event indicates that the associated process exited. This occurrence means either that the process terminated (aborted) or successfully closed. This event can occur only if the value of the
EnableRaisingEvents property is
true.
