Don't know if this helps..but here are couple of reasons when I had the issue & how i resolved it -> If zookeeper is not running (or do not have the quorum) in a cluster setup, hbase does not go down..bring up zookeeper -> Make sure pid file is not under /tmp...somtimes files get cleaned out of tmp..Change *env.sh to point to diff dir.

I was able to started / stopped hbase in the past two months. Now it suddenly stops working. I am running hbase-0.20.4 with Linux 64-bit CPU / 64-bit operating system. I downloaded hbase-0.20.4 and run on a standalone mode (http://hbase.apache.org/docs/current/api/overview-summary.html#overview_description) Thanks! Jack.
