RE: Shutdown.sh does not work when long lasting operations, such as SQL Queries, are still active!

Just wondering if this option has been back ported into TC now?

I can backport the "-force" option from 3.3 - basically save the PID and 
then use kill if tomcat doesn't shut down gracefully.

Fact is many apps are not cleaning up - and having the whole server hunged 
and unable to restart for one bad app is not good.
