How to SHUTDOWN Tomcat in Ubuntu?

Question

I tried to shutdown tomcat as shown below, but tomcat still seems to be running (http://localhost:8080/)

vandegraff@vandegraff-laptop:~$ /usr/share/tomcat6/bin/shutdown.sh 
Using CATALINA_BASE:   /usr/share/tomcat6
Using CATALINA_HOME:   /usr/share/tomcat6
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /usr/share/tomcat6/temp
Using JRE_HOME:       /usr

Why is that?

Should all these 3 processes - 1597, 1598, 1599 - be killed?

Answer 1

Try

/etc/init.d/tomcat stop

(maybe you have to write something after tomcat, just press tab one time)

Edit: And you also need to do it as root.
