Tomcat does not shutdown with script

[VICTOR_PAUL_NONLILLY]

I run tomcat 4.0 on a solaris 8 box.  The shutdown.sh script does not 
function properly.  It does not shut tomcat cat down.  I get this error.

Using CLASSPATH: 
/opt/tomcat/jakarta-tomcat-4.0/bin/bootstrap.jar:/usr/java/lib/tools.jar
Using CATALINA_BASE: /opt/tomcat/jakarta-tomcat-4.0
Using CATALINA_HOME: /opt/tomcat/jakarta-tomcat-4.0
Using JAVA_HOME:     /usr/java
Catalina.stop: java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused

Does anyone have any suggestions?
