Description

System: CentOS 7.6.1810 x86-64
Aplication server: Apache Tomcat 8.5.37

While system restarts or service restarts tomcat started and immediately stopped.
Log in "/var/log/messages" looks like this:

Feb 19 12:38:25 idmtest systemd: Starting Apache Tomcat Web Application Container...

Feb 19 12:38:26 idmtest shutdown.sh: Úno 19, 2019 12:38:26 ODP. org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina stopServer
Feb 19 12:38:26 idmtest shutdown.sh: SEVERE: No shutdown port configured. Shut down server through OS signal. Server not shut down.
Feb 19 12:38:26 idmtest shutdown.sh: The stop command failed. Attempting to signal the process to stop through OS signal.
Feb 19 12:38:27 idmtest shutdown.sh: Tomcat stopped.

cause:
Probably, systemd is not able to distinguish if the tomcat started at all so it immediatelly tries to stop it.

solution:

Add following line to tomcat.service. This will cause systemd to lookup tomcat's PID file.

PIDFile=/opt/tomcat/current/temp/tomcat.pid

In "/var/log/messages" you may now find this line:

úno 19 13:22:51 idmtest systemd[1]: PID file /opt/tomcat/current/temp/tomcat.pid not readable (yet?) after start.

This happens because system expect pid file but tomcat didn't make any yet. It is not a problem.
