Usually.  The -force option will invoke kill -9 on the Tomcat pid if Tomcat 
doesn't stop in the specified time, which defaults to five seconds, but may be 
specified as an argument to the shutdown.sh script.  If the pid can't be 
determined, -force has no effect.

Lots of things, including connections to other processes (e.g., database 
servers), flushing of unwritten buffers to disk, how busy the system is, etc.
