Hello,

Hello,

I've Noticed that the rc.d script for tomcat7 has changed from version 6. In tomcat6 a function called tomcat_stop() would force kill after a certain timeout, this no longer happens in tomcat7 and sometimes we are unable to stop it using the rc.d script, it just sits there waiting for PID.

In tomcat6 we had:

tomcat_stop() {
        rc_pid=$(tomcat_check_pidfile $pidfile)

        if [ -z "$rc_pid" ]; then
                [ -n "$rc_fast" ] && return 0
                echo "${name} not running? (check $pidfile)."
                return 1
        fi

        echo "Stopping ${name}."
        ${java_command} stop
        tomcat_wait_max_for_pid ${tomcat%%TOMCAT_VERSION%%_stop_timeout} ${rc_pid}
        kill -KILL ${rc_pid} 2> /dev/null && echo "Killed."
        rm -f ${pidfile}
}


This function is no longer available in the version 7 rc.d script, is there any way it can be modified to function like in version 6? It was a great feature.

I also tried using forcestop but that doesn't seem to do anything different from stop, just sits waiting for PID.

Thank you.
