I am facing some issues regarding tomcat startup and shutdown.

I am using

  1. Tomcat v.6.0.32 (using the extracted the bundle downloaded from Apache website and not the one distributed by Ubuntu 10.04)
  2. Ubuntu v.10.04

I start the tomcat using command: 

$./catalina.sh jpda start

Then I try to stop it using command:

$./catalina.sh stop

and get the following message:

SEVERE: Catalina.stop:

I also tried stopping it using command :

$./catalina.sh stop -force

but I got the message:

Kill failed: $CATALINA_PID not set

Then I again tried starting tomcat using command:

$./catalina.sh jpda start

In the /logs folder only catalina.out is generated wi

tomcat6 ubuntu-10.04 shutdown

Solution; First set the pid of tomcat CATALINA_PID="/id.pid" export CATALINA_PID

then kill it catalina.sh stop -force

otherwise just as you mentioned, just kill it with the kill command

ps aux | grep catalina
kill <pid of tomcat>

if the above two solutions don't fit your needs try the following:

$ sudo service tomcat6 stop
* Stopping Tomcat servlet engine tomcat6 [ OK ]
$ sudo service tomcat6 start
* Starting Tomcat servlet engine tomcat6 [ OK ]
$

or of course the more traditional way:

$ sudo /etc/init.d/tomcat6 stop
* Stopping Tomcat servlet engine tomcat6 [ OK ]
$ sudo /etc/init.d/tomcat6 start
* Starting Tomcat ser
