> How to detect down of tomcat.

Note that the responses you've been getting are only testing for the
Tomcat process still running in some way. There are probably a lot of
scenarios where you consider Tomcat "down" yet it is still running. Some
that come to mind:

1. Database connection pool has been exhausted so no work can complete
2. Request processors are all tied up waiting on some lock
3. A connector has failed and is no longer accepting connections

These are all situations where a Tomcat restart may be in order but the
"check the process list" technique will fail to detect them.

We have a "status" page that checks the health of our server and we use
wget in a script to check the data that comes back. Something like that
will be more reliable than just checking the OS's process table.
