Assessing Tomcat's State

[Francisco J. Bido]

Is there any way to assess Tomcat's state via an environment variable?  
For example, I would like to poll an environment variable to see if 
Tomcat is:

1. starting up
2. running
3. shutting down
4. stopped
There're a bunch of other states out there but the above fulfill my 
immediate needs.

Parsing through the catalina.out log file is the only way I know how to 
do this but this is approach is way too clumsy and ugly.

Thanks!
