Hi, guys. I set:
$ export CATALINA_PID="$CATALINA_HOME/conf/catalina.pid" Started *Tomcat*: $ ./bin/startup.shUsing CATALINA_BASE: /home/tomcats/apache-tomcat-7.0.53Using CATALINA_HOME: /home/tomcats/apache-tomcat-7.0.53Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /home/tomcats/apache-tomcat-7.0.53/tempUsing JRE_HOME: /usr/java/jdk1.6.0_45/jre/Using CLASSPATH: /home/tomcats/apache-tomcat-7.0.53/bin/bootstrap.jar:/home/tomcats/apache-tomcat-7.0.53/bin/tomcat-juli.jarUsing CATALINA_PID: /home/tomcats/apache-tomcat-7.0.53/conf/catalina.pidTomcat started. Checked pid-file: $ cat /home/tomcats/apache-tomcat-7.0.53/conf/catalina.pid28461 But - there is no process 28461: $ ps aux | grep 28461 tomcats 28599 0.0 0.0 103240 872 pts/0 S+ 12:50 0:00 grep 28461 $ ps -p 28461 PID TTY TIME CMD And Tomcat's JVM runs with other PID: $ ps u | grep tomcat | grep java | grep -v grep | cut -d" " -f 330133 So - for what exactly CATALINA_PID variable needs or - why it's return wrong number? >From "*Tomcat the Definitive Guide*" of *Jason Brittain* book we know that: CATALINA_PID This variable may optionally hold the path to the process ID file that Tomcat should use when starting up and shutting down. None Use: $ cat /etc/redhat-releaseCentOS release 6.4 (Final) Thanks for advice.
