shutting down tomcat in xnat's desktop virtual machine

[Antonio Rueda]

Hi to all.
How do I shut down Tocam in XNAT's Desktop VM? I get the following when attempting to use ./shutdown.sh

xnat@xnatdev:/usr/share/tomcat7/bin$ sudo ./shutdown.sh
Using CATALINA_BASE:   /usr/share/tomcat7
Using CATALINA_HOME:   /usr/share/tomcat7
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /usr/share/tomcat7/temp
Using JRE_HOME:        /usr
Using CLASSPATH:       /usr/share/tomcat7/bin/bootstrap.jar:/usr/share/tomcat7/bin/tomcat-juli.jar

This is probably a permissions issue, but it's hard to tell. You're sudo'ing but the process owner is actually the xnat user (root should override the xnat user, but something else may be going on underneath).

I'd recommend using the service command to shut Tomcat down instead of any of the Tomcat scripts directly. This would look like:

sudo service tomcat7 stop

The service script goes through all of the settings for the tomcat7 service and should get the ownership and permissions right through the process.

If that's still giving you a problem, verify that the file is really there (if it's not, you have a bigger problem, since something's fouled up your VM image somehow). If it is really there, check the permissions to make sure it can be written properly by the xnat user.

The service command worked fine, thanks Rick
