Major Default CATALINA_PID points to "/var/run/tomcat7.pid" that might not be accessible by user tomcat
[hudson@jwssol01-01 jws-3.1]$ cat etc/sysconfig/tomcat7 ... # Set the TOMCAT_PID location CATALINA_PID="/var/run/tomcat7.pid" ...
[hudson@jwssol01-01 jws-3.1]$ ls -lah /var/run/ total 1331 drwxr-xr-x 12 root sys 2.4K Aug 3 12:43 . drwxrwxrwx 6 root root 6 Nov 24 2016 ..
Tomcat then fails to create PID file.
sudo su tomcat -c share/tomcat7/bin/shutdown.sh $CATALINA_PID was set but the specified file does not exist. Is Tomcat running? Stop aborted.
Apache httpd uses similar configuration, but it uses it as
[hudson@jwssol01-01 jbcs-httpd24-2.4]$ ls -ladh etc/httpd/run lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 Aug 3 12:35 etc/httpd/run -> /var/run/httpd
[hudson@jwssol01-01 jbcs-httpd24-2.4]$ ls -lahd /var/run/httpd drwxrwxrwx 2 apache root 117 Aug 3 12:50 /var/run/httpd
This might be idea for the fix
