Community Edition - fails to shutdown

[Rodger Spring]

startup

sudo /opt/local/dotcms_32/dotserver/tomcat-8.0.18/bin/startup.sh

This appears to be fine.
Takes about 3 minutes.

sudo /opt/local/dotcms_32/dotserver/tomcat-8.0.18/bin/shutdown.sh

It does not seem that it can shut down.

Correction
 
startup should be

sudo /opt/local/dotcms_32/bin/startup.sh

and the corresponding shutdown is

sudo /opt/local/dotcms_32/bin/shutdown.sh

now the script invokes a kill of the tomcat in order to terminte
(Not pretty - but effective)
