It's possible that the JVM sends a notification and subsequently terminates all the threads, but may not wait for them to finish their work. I highly recommend an orderly shutdown (using "catalina.sh stop"). > As to why on a busy system, "catalina.sh stop" takes longer I really > don't have the details. This should be easy to determine: run "catalina.sh stop" which should return immediately. Run "jstack" on the still-running JVM several times a few seconds apart to see which threads are still alive. Perhaps some are request processing threads still doing work, in which case the response will not complete if you forceably kill the thread. There could be other threads running that should be daemon threads but aren't: that's usually a simple fix. > All I can say is that sometimes I don't even > see the above messages for first 20-25 seconds.

Yes and no: "catalina.sh stop" does in fact start a second JVM and send a "stop" message to the other Tomcat, but its likely that Tomcat receives the message immediately. I'm not sure why it would take 20-30 seconds for you to see the above message: it should be immediate. Tomcat then does a whole bunch of things, including waiting for request processing threads to complete, notifying servlet context listeners that the webapp is coming down, then taking the servlets and filters out of service, shutting down various resource pools, etc. Only then does it take the connectors out of service. So, if something takes a long time to complete (maybe a filter or servlet taking a long time to shutdown) then you'll just have to wait for it to complete. I just checked, and my TC 6.0.20 install doesn't print anything after "Stopping Service Catalina" when I shut it down, so it's possible that message is printed when the service really is ready to go down. Thread dumps will certainly help you figure out what's taking so long. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkuVhyIACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PBZBACfY+kevbW9Y51JNMrghofh4aCj atwAn02La9O0OEY5bn3/9l+3NlHazxRG =LQwd -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
