Hi Me being the one who made the ridiculous suggestion of using ps, am now enlightened and will be using jps -mlv and spreading the word...
That being said is there any opinions about the soundness of using the Redhat/Centos startup/shutdown script for Tomcat?

You won't be using the shutdown.sh script to kill Tomcat unless you hack it up to do that. I'd recommend against that. What I would recommend is using the CATALINA_PID environment variable helpfully documented in bin/catalina.sh: # Environment Variable Prequisites [...] # CATALINA_PID (Optional) Path of the file which should contains # the pid of catalina startup java process, when # start (fork) is used Try setting this environment variable to something like "/var/run/tomcat.pid" and you should get a file in that location containing the pid of the Java process started by Tomcat. Then, you can do something like: $ kill -9 `cat /var/run/tomcat.pid` Forget all these ridiculous suggestions of running 'ps' and grepping the output for all kinds of crazy strings. That may or may not work at all. The above strategy was intended by the Tomcat developers to be used to capture the PID of the Java process, so go ahead and use that. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAksW0KwACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PA7uQCgxBiy3snTbF49e8FXPp/+qARn qncAoI4/CLEItiHOiZxCioRfpHcCiGZ5 =AP2a -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.
