--- Comment #27 from Rainer Jung <rainer.j...@kippdata.de> --- Excellent analysis! I *think* the "&" at the end of the line is only useful, if a pipe command is actually being used. So one could put it into the construction of the string variable to which we pipe, just as we prefix the command with "|" we could suffix it with "&". Nevertheless systemd will probably have trouble identifying the backgrounded Java process. When using systemd in our own distribution, we include Type=forking ... PIDFile=/path/to/my/logs/catalina.pid ExecStart=/path/to/catalina_home/bin/catalina.sh start ExecStop=/path/to/catalina_home/bin/catalina.sh stop in our service description file (or whatever CATALINA_PID is). So it might make sense to better support systemd by providing a template for this. Using the PIDFile, systemd should be able to correctly detect, whether Tomcat is running or not (once we are writing te correct pid to it). As an example, the full file is the following, where all XXX params are patched before copying the file to systemd during running a custom "service-install" script target.
