6.0.18 is getting on now, plan an upgrade of your server(s).

The shutdown.sh script will probably return before Tomcat has completely
stopped running, which means that the startup.sh script will try to
start Tomcat before the previous instance has exited.

You have a debug attribute on the Server element, remove it to clear
this error.

Same here.

There's already a service running on port 8081.
Check that the previous Tomcat actually shutdown completely.

You have a Servlet API jar in your webapp (you definitely shouldn't
have), remove it to remove this error.

As above, same error.

What does the log indicate when you're shutting down Tomcat?
How long does it take?

Maybe you have a problem that you're not aware of.  A more recent
version of Tomcat may assist you with this, as it contains some
detection that adds messages to the logs when it finds potential
problems during shutdown.

Once you know how long it *should* take to shutdown, under normal
conditions, have a look at the usage statement of
/usr/local/tomcat6/bin/catalina.sh for some options on forcibly shutting
Tomcat down after a time limit.
