Yes. In order to *get* that clean shutdown, you need to find out what's preventing it :-). One common problem is that something in your webapp has created a thread and not marked it as a daemon thread (http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/lang/Thread.html#setDaemon(boolean) - yes, I know that's probably for the wrong Java version, but the problem still stands). The JVM won't exit while that thread's still alive, so the notion of trying to shut down Tomcat then getting a thread dump after that point is a very good one. Hmm. You're on a 1.5 JDK on Linux. That means you should be able to use jstack to get a thread dump - might be worth a try. I don't think we can help you much more on this list until we have some idea of what's keeping the JVM running! - Peter --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
