Do you know how the monitoring service tests the service for its
"liveness"?

Is there anything (else) in the log files? There may be something in
the files other than catalina.out. I know that I still have trouble in
a dev environment with Tomcat repeatedly detecting changes on the
filesystem and re-deploying a context multiple times, even when there
have been no changes after the one that caused the initial reload.

Have you enabled an access log? If so, can you see the requests both
before and after the service appears to go offline?

You say that you aren't running it as a service. How then are you
running Tomcat? Just starting catalina.sh from the CLI directly? If
you run it in the background, are you running it with nohup? If not,
your console closing might be killing the Java process. Hmm... but you
said that Tomcat does in fact shut down when you login and stop it.
Probably not a SIGHUP killing the process.

If you stop Tomcat (when it's unresponsive), then re-start it, does it
appear to work correctly right away, or do you need to do anything
else to get it to work again?
