Unfortonutalely, I don't have any class that invokes System.exit() nor Spring scheduler. Nothing particular happens before tomcat shutdown (see logs). And No database is backed up or restarted during this time. This is really strange (and critical) and I suspect that it comes from Struts.
Tomcat listens on port 8009 (I think) for a shutdown command. Try changing the port in your Tomcat configuration and see if the problems goes away. I have read of weird situations where there are multiple installations of Tomcat and one incorrectly configured installation would take down another installation when the shutdown command was issued because the port number wasn't unique to each installation.
