You've also got other candidates such as database connections, JMS connections etc which could spawn threads (For example, for keep-alive functionality).

The easiest thing to do is a thread dump (send the process a SIGQUIT signal) after stopping tomcat to see which thread(s) are keeping the JVM up. Once identified you need to fix your code.

At JVM shutdown, the JVM is terminated only if all remaining running
threads are daemon threads.

Therefore, if the application starts own threads, it is necessary to ensure
that

1) either all these threads are destroyed before JVM shutdown by calling
the stop() method for each of the threads,

2) or make them daemon threads by calling setDaemon() right after thread
creation.

Hello,


If your servlet(s) start new threads that run independently of request
this may happen.

Could this be the case?

Hi,

This is what I have done:

1) use shutdown.sh to shut down tomcat
2) Now the website appears to be down
3) Use ps -ef | grep tomcat to check the processes, tomcat still appears
to be running:
ps -ef | grep tomcat
root     21892     1  1 14:30 pts/21   00:00:17 /local/Java/bin/java
-Djava.endorsed.dirs=/opt/jakarta-tomcat/common/endorsed -classpath
/local/Java/lib/tools.jar:/opt/jakarta-tomcat/bin/bootstrap.jar:/opt/jak
arta-tomcat/bin/commons-logging-api.jar
-Dcatalina.base=/opt/jakarta-tomcat -Dcatalina.home=/opt/jakarta-tomcat
-Djava.io.tmpdir=/opt/jakarta-tomcat/temp
org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap start
4) use startup.sh to start tomcat
5) website appears to be up and running again
6) check the processes, now there are 2 tomcats running:

ps -ef | grep tomcat
root     21892     1  1 14:30 pts/21   00:00:17 /local/Java/bin/java
-Djava.endorsed.dirs=/opt/jakarta-tomcat/common/endorsed -classpath

arta-tomcat/bin/commons-logging-api.jar
-Dcatalina.base=/opt/jakarta-tomcat -Dcatalina.home=/opt/jakarta-tomcat
-Djava.io.tmpdir=/opt/jakarta-tomcat/temp
org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap start
root     22108     1  1 14:33 pts/21   00:00:19 /local/Java/bin/java

-Dcatalina.base=/opt/jakarta-tomcat -Dcatalina.home=/opt/jakarta-tomcat
-Djava.io.tmpdir=/opt/jakarta-tomcat/temp
org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap start
ops      22427 10618  0 14:52 pts/21   00:00:00 grep tomcat

Why was shutdown.sh unable to kill the tomcat process? I'm running
Tomcat 5.0.28 on SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 9. Java version: 1.5.0_03.

Thank you in advance,
Elaine
