Can some others try this simple test with Tomcat 5.0.xx

Can people run the following commands and tell me what you get (any
errors??).

$CATALINA_HOME/bin/startup.sh
$CATALINA_HOME/bin/shutdown.sh

Don't run a browser, just fire up tomcat and then immediately shutdown it
again. My problem is that I can't close Tomcat down without viewing at least
one page using a browser. Just like to know what other people get.

I am logged in as "root" and have not created any user, group or set any
directory permissions for Tomcat. I am running Tomcat 5.0.25 and Java
1.4.2_04.

Cheers

Phil

Yes, sometimes it happens, especially if your applications are creating
many 'services' that runs independently. You want to take it down
immediately no matter what?

kill -9 `ps -ef | grep tomcat | grep -v grep | awk '{print $2}'`

will do. Note the first and last backquotes (`) instead of (').
