Re: Assessing Tomcat's State

[Tim Funk]

Depending on your needs if you just need UP or down, you can use wget or a 
similar agent.

You can also set CATALINA_PID in unix before calling the startup scripts and 
the file referenced by CATALINA_PID will contain the process ID.

Or you can write a LifeCycle Listener to trap startup and shutdown events.

Is there any way to assess Tomcat's state via an environment variable?  
For example, I would like to poll an environment variable to see if 
Tomcat is:

1. starting up
2. running
3. shutting down
4. stopped
There're a bunch of other states out there but the above fulfill my 
immediate needs.

Parsing through the catalina.out log file is the only way I know how to 
do this but this is approach is way too clumsy and ugly.

Thanks!
