Hi, Currently the pid file is set when you run catalina.sh (unix/linux)
if [ ! -z "$CATALINA_PID" ]; then echo $! > $CATALINA_PID fi In some situation (when using sudo, su, catalina.out piped to a log rotation program) it is harder and possibly prone to error to get the right pid - $! might not be the pid of the JVM. Apache httpd sets the pid file and cleans it up .... Is there a simple way/sample to have Tomcat set the pid file during its bootstrap and not the startup shell script ?
