Howto Stop/Restart/Kill Tomcat After It failed starting?

Hello,

Is there any way to stop/restart/kill Tomcat after it failed starting
due to wrong configuration, etc....? I.E. I changed settings in
server.xml and needed to restart Tomcat to apply the change. It
failed.

Doing service tomcat4 stop or restart, or tomcat4 stop/start would not
work.
Doing ps -aux returns no tomcat process at all.

What works is not convenient at all. That is to restart the Linux box.
I do not want to do that. That is to me is a Micro$oft thing to reboot
every time you run into software abnormalies.

I am running Tomcat4 on RedHat 8.

Thanks,

Trent

If it failed starting you can't stop/restart/kill, you can only start it
after fixing the bugged configuration file.
