Well ... here's the problem. jsvc needs that pid file to shutdown
tomcat. It would be a real PITA if some user or script were to muck
around and damage or delete that file.
Having said that, most *nix systems have a sticky bit ability to force
permissions on newly created files in specific folders. Or you could
modify your service script to chmod the pid file on startup.

Hi,
I can start and stop Tomcat 5.5 with the jsvc program but the problem is
that the pid file is created with permissions 600 and owned by root.
I want to be able to read the pid file to check if the Tomcat process is up
and running
and also for other purposes.
Is it possible to make the pid file be owned by the user that runs Tomcat or
have the permissions to be set to 666?
Regards
Gunnar
