are you using connections to a DB? I have a similar problem becuse I use a pool of connections and the connections died, then when I tried to shutdown the tomcat had the similar problem I used kill-9, after that I worked on the connection pool. check that, It could help you.
-----Mensaje original----- De: Christian, Andrew P (Andrew) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Enviado el: lunes, 13 de mayo de 2002 13:39 Para: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Asunto: problems shutting down tomcat on HP-UX 11 I am running Tomcat 4.0.3 on HP-UX 11 with HP's 1.3 JDK. I am running with all the default server.xml settings. Tomcat seems to start up and run fine. I can access all the JSP and Servlet examples fine. However, when I run shutdown.sh, tomcat never shuts down. The Catalina.out log file indicates that tomcat is shutting down and the Catalina_log shows: 2002-05-13 12:28:50 HttpProcessor[8080][4] Stopping background thread 2002-05-13 12:28:50 HttpProcessor[8080][3] Stopping background thread 2002-05-13 12:28:50 HttpProcessor[8080][2] Stopping background thread 2002-05-13 12:28:50 HttpProcessor[8080][1] Stopping background thread 2002-05-13 12:28:50 HttpProcessor[8080][0] Stopping background thread Yet the java process never shuts down. Using netstat, I can see that port 8080 is still in a listening state.
