Hello, I install Apache 5.5 on Ubuntu as super user. I also do following: I also create executable tomcat in /etc/init.d with following contents: -------------------- export JAVA_HOME=/sw/jdk1.5.0_16 export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH export CATALINA_HOME=/sw/tomcat55 cd $CATALINA_HOME ./bin/jsvc -Djava.endorsed.dirs=./common/endorsed -cp ./bin/bootstrap.jar -outfile ./logs/catalina.out -errfile ./logs/catalina.err org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap --------------------------- I create rc2.d/S31tomcat and rc6.d/S31tomcat to point to above executable and the tomcat comes up when machine reboots. Till now I have no issues. Now when I try to start / shutdown the tomcat process I see jsvc is unable to shut it down. I use following command to shut it down: --------------------------------- /sw/tomcat55/bin/jsvc -Djava.endorsed.dirs=./common/endorsed -cp ./bin/bootstrap.jar -outfile ./logs/catalina.out -errfile ./logs/catalina.err org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap -stop -pidfile /var/run/jsvc.pid
-------------------------- Now the .logs.catalina.err has following error: --------------------------- 19/07/2008 13:06:43 6455 jsvc.exec error: Still running according to PID file /var/run/jsvc.pid, PID is 6300 19/07/2008 13:06:43 6454 jsvc.exec error: Service exit with a return value of 122 --------------------------------- Any idea wht's going wrong here. Please let me know how to start and stop this server like we do for other daemons. e.g /etc/init.d/httpd start /etc/init.d/httpd stop etc. Any help is appreciated. Thank you. -suman
