Package: tomcat5.5
Version: 5.5.26-3
Severity: normal
Hi,
When tomcat is running as a daemon, it keeps open file descriptors for
the terminal.
irma:~# lsof -a -c jsvc +D /dev/pts
COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE NODE NAME
jsvc19251 root1u CHR 136,1 3 /dev/pts/1
jsvc19251 root2u CHR 136,1 3 /dev/pts/1
I think that there is no reason why a daemon should keep the terminal
open.
It's not very annoying when the daemon is run on startup by init. But
when it is run over a SSH session, then the SSH session will not close
gracefully, which is quite annoying.
Simply adding /dev/null 21 to the $DAEMON invocation in
/etc/init.d/tomcat5.5 would probaby solve the problem, but it might
have some unwanted side effects. It would probably be better to fix
jsvc to disconnect from the terminal when daemonizing, but I have not
looked at the code.
Cheers,
Nicolas
