Ah, but what if you are using jsvc to run something other than tomcat? I am using jsvc to run a standalone java application as a daemon that starts whenever the server is restarted. However, I would like a certain user other than root to be able to run the same launching script for this daemon to start and stop the service as needed. I find I cannot do it because of the permission on the .pid file. No matter where I put the pidfile and no matter whether or not I run umask in the launching script, the pidfile gets created with an owner of root and perms of 600. If I run umask 133 and then create a file, I get perm 644 as I want on the file. But the same does not work from within my jsvc-launch script with the pid file. Nothing I've tried works. In Response To: Hi, I can start and stop Tomcat 5.5 with the jsvc program but the problem is that the pid file is created with permissions 600 and owned by root. I want to be able to read the pid file to check if the Tomcat process is up and running and also for other purposes. Is it possible to make the pid file be owned by the user that runs Tomcat or have the permissions to be set to 666?
