           Summary: Make the SLEEP variable in catalina.sh settable from
                    the environment.
           Product: Tomcat 6
           Version: 6.0.24
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: Catalina
        AssignedTo: dev@tomcat.apache.org
        ReportedBy: blair@orcaware.com


I have a web application that has a single threaded job executor that it blocks
on a condition variable waiting for a new task to show up with a timeout of 15
seconds.  Under light or no load when the web application is shut down it can
take 15+ seconds for the thread to wake up and check that it should be shut
down.

Given that I know it can take 15+ seconds for the application to be shut down,
it would be nice to set the SLEEP variable in catalina.sh so it doesn't exit
after 5 seconds.

So maybe rename SLEEP to CATALINA_SLEEP and if it isn't set then default it to
5.

Maybe I should update my web application to not wait 15 seconds before checking
to shut down, but I don't bounce the server often and I'd rather not have the
thread wake up more often then it needs to.

Thanks,
Blair

--- Comment #1 from Mark Thomas <ma...@apache.org> 2010-02-15 11:08:19 UTC ---
The default could be made an environment variable rather than hard coding to 5
(simple patch) but this is already configurable. Use:
./catalina.sh stop n

to have Tomcat wait n seconds.

As ever, patches always welcome.
