I tried to run Tim's original sh script under Solaris and it wouldn't give me anything, so I wrote a version in Perl. My script looks like this:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #!/usr/local/bin/perl open (PIDFILE, "> logs/tomcat.pid"); print PIDFILE getppid(); close (PIDFILE); -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I also had to give fully qualified paths in both the Perl script and in Runtime.getRuntime().exec() to get it to find the correct files. Use the original Java class that Tim wrote and just point it to the Perl script. Also, just call the Perl script--you don't need to call /bin/sh first. Make sure to chmod the script to executable, too. Thanks for the Java code, Tim. It works great now. -Joel Joel Sather email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] phone: 651-917-4719 >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 06/14/02 07:26AM >>> Welcome to PID hell! I have this working on HPUX, if you are trying this on another UNIX - I'm not sure what may happen but here are some hints to track things down. 1) Make sure the directory you are starting tomcat you are typing bin/startup.sh. This ensures you will write the the correct log directory. 2) My original version of the script was: #!/bin/sh echo $PPID > logs/tomcat.pid This printed out the wrong PID since the first line created an extra shell process for the script to execute in. I wonder if Runtime.getRuntime().exec is creating "an extra process" which would cause you to get the wrong pid. If that is the case - I can't be of help. A Google search will probably provide a better solution than mine for determining process id of a java program. -Tim Laura wrote: > Hi, > > I have installed your code in my Tomcat (4.0.2 + apache). > > But it doesn't seem to be correct.
