This was mostly an issue on an overloaded system, I think. Not sure what was going on, but the init script would never succeed in stopping Tomcat until the timeout elapsed. The second JVM invocation is the "java" call in "catalina.sh stop". AFAICT it involves initalizing a new Catalina instance (class loaders, config file parsing, etc) and then just connecting to the running instance on the listening socket and telling it to shutdown - quite a waste of cycles.
