tomcat7 PID file and status check

[Eric Wood]

I trying to find a service script (init.d) that I can use to start, stop, and 
check status of my tomcat7 instances.  We run multiple instances of tomcat of a 
single server. I have found scripts out that where the status call checks the 
ps table to get the pid to determine the status.

I thought that tomcat wrote out a .pid file into the file system, but I do not 
see it in my tomcat instance folder structure. What is the proper way to manage 
the pid ... do I get it from the process table via ps or do I write it out to 
the file system?

Thanks, Eric

Look at the output of  `cd $CATALINA_HOME/bin  grep pid *.sh` :-)
