Kirk Lund commented on GEODE-2594:
----------------------------------
I have added the "docs" component because this change requires additional
changes to Apache Geode documentation:
* remove tools.jar from anything (such as any instructions about adding it to
the classpath)
* remove tools.jar from example output from start/status/stop commands
* deprecate use of --pid option in status locator, status server, stop locator,
and stop server -- "Deprecated: Since Geode1.2. Requires the JDK tools.jar
which is not included on the classpath by default. Use --dir instead" has been
added to the output of gfsh help of these command options
> Remove optional usage of Attach API

> This is a request to remove our optional usage of Attach API.
> Users keep running into issues caused by GFSH using the Attach API. If the
> user kills a GemFire process that was started by GFSH, the Attach API leaves
> a java_pid file in /tmp which prevents the Attach API from working with any
> future JVMs that reuse that pid. Most users also want to use a JRE without
> the tools.jar.
> The only functionality that will be removed is status and stop command
> support for --pid option.
