Correct. Tomcat pid file should be useful for application which are not primary developed just for Solaris or comes from other systems. Note also that Tomcat already supports pid files, we are just enabling this feature. >> Allow Tomcat to create PID file at standard location: /var/run/tomcat6/pid. >> tomcat6 directory is owned by webserverd so that Tomcat can write into it. > > Note that nothing below /var/run can be delivered as part of a package, > since the directory disappears at reboot, breaking the package.

The original idea was to deliver /var/run/tomcat6 directory via package so that tomcat could write into it. It was wrong.. As tomcat6 is started with 'webservd' credential it's not able to write into /var/run. Therefore I'm proposing to change pid file location to: /var/tomcat6/logs/pid Committed PID file Petr
